I don't think that's a good reason to reject this problem, as this is just a limitation of current kernel suspend, not any inherent problem with swap files.
I don't know what's the status of kernel suspend code, but it seems that suspend2 supports swapfiles. See: http://www.suspend2.net/features -- Ubuntu desktop installer should use swap files, not swap partitions, by default https://launchpad.net/bugs/54537 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
