 ====== Hibernate from a non activate swapfile from btrfs ======
+*** 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.
