This currently does not work. You can specify a device, but it is not ideal=
.
I also tried to used the devmapper by-uuid symlinks, but at the time of
swap activation these are not available yet.

There is two to go about this, one would be to read the swap uuids directly=
,
and that would be preferred, or modify swap activation to come after the
by-uuid links are available, that would be easier. I believe on the long ru=
n
the device specification code in different parts of the config should be as
unified as possible.

I tried the following to no avail:
> ;;;UUID string of swap device
> (define swap-uuid ...)
> ...
>  (swap-devices (list (uuid swap-uuid)))
>
> It complained that it did not get a string.
>
>  (swap-devices (list swap-uuid))
>
> It complained about my swap-uuid not being a file or directory.

> Any help would be appreciated.
