Title:
  swapfile did not start after installation

Status in grub2 package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Budgie 17.10 32bit

  
  Test case "Auto Resize"

  During installation I chose to encrypt my home-folder, install all
  updates and 3rd party non-free codecs.

  I noticed during boot there was a Failure of the Swapfile

  on login I ran

  systemctl status swapfile.swap

  The showed:

  ● swapfile.swap - /swapfile
     Loaded: loaded (/etc/fstab; generated; vendor preset: enabled)
     Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2017-08-30 12:00:50 BST; 4min 0s ago
       What: /swapfile
