 +*** Important! *** This didn't work! It is not secure! When wiping happens, the file gets moved to another place by btrfs, then, this doesn't work for two reasons: 1) Wiping happens in other parts of the disk, and the offset changes and has to be updated in all configurations files after wiping everytime.
 +
 +* This was just a stupid experiment.

 +I have a system with encrypted swap, but I don't want to have encryption on the hibernation swap file. My idea is to use hibernation only when strictly necessary, because I don't want to need to put a password during booting.  Then, this swap file should actually be always deactivated except before hibernation. When resuming, this swap space should be deactivated and then securely wiped! The script to do this would be this: my_server_hibernate.sh: 
 + 
 +#!/bin/bash 
 + 
 +  echo "Activating swap from swapfile" 
 +  sudo swapon /swap/swapfile 
 +  sleep 1 
 +  echo "Hibernating" 
 +  sleep 0.2 
 +  xtrlock -b & 
 +  sudo s2disk 
 +  echo "Returning from Hibernate" 
 +  sleep 10 
 +  echo "Deactivating swapfile" 
 +  sudo swapoff /swap/swapfile 
 +  sleep 5 
 +  echo "Wiping swapfile" 
 +  #sudo wipe -k -f -q -Q 1 /swap/swapfile 
 +  sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/swap/swapfile bs=1M count=24576 status=progress #reserve 24GB 
 +  sync 
 +  sleep 1 
 +  echo "Making swapfs again" 
 +  sudo mkswap /swap/swapfile 
 +  echo "All done, ready to hiberante again"
