Help on BTRFS setup
I'm attempting a new install. I want to use btrfs with swapfile.
Do I need to disable compression on my swap subvolume?
Is there anything else I should keep in mind for fstab if I want to, say, not keep track of my Downloads folder when snapshotting?
Here is my fstab:
LABEL=arch@btrfs / btrfs rw,relatime,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=256,subvol=>
LABEL=arch@btrfs /home btrfs rw,relatime,discard=async,space_cache=v2,subvolid=257,subvol=>

The reason I use a swap file is so that I can have only one partition backed by LUKS disk encryption, rather than having to screw around with lvm which comes with its own performance overhead and all. I've personally never had issues hibernating to.it, but given how much buggy uefi firmware is out there I'm not surprised to hear that other have issues
