Yes.

I have finally found out the reason why logind is complaining, thanks to you.

The only reason I can fathom is that systemd-logind is unable to
access the directory /var/swap. IIRC, you were the one who suggested I
mount in that directory.

Not blaming you, but the question is what do I do now ?

The bug that you have linked to is about /home not /var.

So where should I keep the swap for logind to access it without any problems ?

I don't think that is possible since the file was created with dd, not
fallocate.
Also the +C attribute was used.

Yes, I have removed the nodatacow option from my mount in fstab as it
clearly had no effect.
I am now using the +C attribute.
