Imagine you create a swap(file,partition). You forget to activate it
for some time in the system. Then you activate it manually. In the same
session you add it to the system config as (swap-devices '("/dev/sda5")).
Then you run reconfigure.
Now you experience this, because obviously the device is busy.
guix system: loading new services: swap-/dev/sda5 user-homes git-daemon...
shepherd: Evaluating user expression (register-services (primitive-load
"/gn...") ...).
guix system: error: exception caught while executing 'start' on service
'swap-/dev/sda5':
ERROR: In procedure swapon: "/dev/sda5": Device or resource busy
Shouldn't we 'swapoff' before 'swapon' so that the device can be
'swapon' in the system generation?

If you do that after checking that the swap device / file is already
on, you cloud also
just do nothing then, I'm not sure there's anything to be gained by
doing off+on...
WDYT ?
