Systemctl hibernate doesn't work

[darkshadow (Fumikage Tokoyami)]

I’ve followed this guide https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/14/html/Storage_Administration_Guide/s2-swap-creating-file.html

Whenever I try to hibernate as root or as a non-root user, I get

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

and when I analyze systemd-logind, I see the error

Failed to open swap file /swapfile to determine on-disk offset: Permission denied

I thought of searching the error using google and found this https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/hibernation-only-triggers-lockscreen-with-swapfile-likely-selinux-problem/67319/6

Anyone facing permission issues should use this guide https://fedoramagazine.org/troubleshooting-selinux/
