Swapfile in esp? (BTRFS) (lemmy.today)

Since swapfile shouldn't be in a snapshot, and I want my system encrypted therefore I am asking if it could be possible to make efi partition big enough to include swapfile inside it?

I can't find documentation for this process, so would it require some extra steps to make it work?

Have your swap file in another btrfs subvolume. E.g: @swap mounted to /swap and put your swap file there. All subvolumes under the root subvolume will be excluded from your snapshots.
