As I say I designed flopswap differently because I had different ideals. We have covered this before...

It's hardly enabled and a none issue really IMO. At least if something screws up you don't end up in a boot loop.
Without integrating a swap management system into CSSU there is no better way AFAIK.

Not everyone wants to glue a magnet to the back of there device.
It's nice to be able to unmount the card for removal while the device is on.

Swapset has compcache not ereswap

Some service or module must be failing on boot up. I would normally be looking at what I played with last.

RescueOS, bm or a rootfs flash should do the trick if it's not hardware related.

Also note that while bootlooping the battery will not charge. You will have to charge the battery in another device or external charger.
