Hi!

Regarding swapfile support in BTRFS I found it does not work on RAID 1:

BTRFS warning (device somepartition): swapfile must have single data 
profile

as is documented

https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Manpage/
btrfs(5)#SWAPFILE_SUPPORT

Now is there a way to tell BTRFS that the swapfile should be single 
profile?

I see "btrfs filesystem usage" says "no" for "multiple profiles". But I 
also got the following hint that it is not yet supported to specify a 
different profile for a subvolume:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/196490/what-can-i-do-with-btrfs-profiles

I also did not find anything in btrfs subvolume manpage about it.

So just not possible at the moment?

(And no, I do not need that for my own setups.)

Best,
-- 
Martin

That's right, not possible at the moment.
