sudo rm /var/swap ERROR about raspibolt

[Argonalyst]

Maybe related to #37. I'm also having some trouble regarding permission when creating the swap.

Well I played with dphys-swapfile a bit and noticed if just change sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile with new param CONF_SWAPFILE and do sudo dphys-swapfile setup this new swap may be "added" to the old one that you can't delete. May be reboot will help, but my weird (I think something is wrong there) solution was:
$ sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
Chage CONF_SWAPFILE=/var/swap save, exit
$ sudo dphys-swapfile uninstall
$ sudo nano /etc/dphys-swapfile
Chage CONF_SWAPFILE=/mnt/hdd/swapfile save, exit
$ sudo dphys-swapfile setup
$ sudo dphys-swapfile swapon
Now try $ sudo rm /var/swap If I remember correctly that file was already deleted in my case.

I think that the sudo dphys-swapfile swapon command was missing before deleting the old swap file.

Thanks @Stadicus this seems to have worked! Onwards with the guide! :)

Hey, I'm having similar issue but just with another permission.

when I do:

sudo dphys-swapfile swapon

I get:

swapon: /mnt/hdd/swapfile: insecure permissions 0775, 0600 suggested.
swapon: /mnt/hdd/swapfile: read swap header failed

I tried all abovem mentioned incl.

sudo chmod 0600 /mnt/hdd/swapfile

and didn't help.

I didn't have this problem when I was following
Option 1 (recommended): Format hard disk with Ext4

But problem appeared first when I went with opt. 2:
Option 2: Use existing hard disk with NTFS
