Looking at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=256614 and the URL's contained within
it seems doing a

dd if=/dev/zero of=/fedora.swap bs=1M count=2048 status=progress

may cure the w(hole) issue.  :-)

Also weirdly my 8GB swap file is being interpreted as only 8MB.

$  swapon -s
Filename                                Type            Size    Used    Priority
/fedora.swap                            file            8388604 0       -2

$   ls -sh /fedora.swap
8.1G /fedora.swap

What on earth is happening?

Ok my mistake.

I seem to have 8 GB of swap space. I can confirm by the free command.

$ free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:          7.7Gi       1.7Gi       4.4Gi       337Mi       1.6Gi       5.4Gi
Swap:         8.0Gi          0B       8.0Gi

BUT

I am still unable to hibernate:

$  systemctl hibernate
Failed to hibernate system via logind: Not enough swap space for hibernation

I don't understand why after having 8GB of free swap space, I am still unable to hibernate ?

Is this an SELinux issue ?

What is the problem here ?
