Sorry again, it is excellently working

In boot I had noticed

enabling swap DEVICE
swap signature is missing on DEVICE

than understood I had not marked it as swap

$ cat /proc/swaps; sudo swapon --all --verbose ; sudo swapon -s ; free -h
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/mapper/guix-swap            partition 1048572 0 -2
Filename Type Size Used Priority
/dev/mapper/guix-swap           partition 1048572 0 -2
             total        used        free      shared  buff/cache
available
Mem:           31Gi       1.6Gi        28Gi       1.0Mi       1.6Gi
 29Gi
Swap:         1.0Gi          0B       1.0Gi



Thanks very much for great help and GNU, Guix, and all the stuff.

Thanks again


Shyam
