The sample file for a desktop configuration on
does not give an example of swap-devices.

Is adding this line correct on the operating-system section in the
config.scm file if my swap partition is sda2?:
(swap-devices ("/dev/sda2"))

Should then I run?:
guix system reconfigure /etc/config.scm

That should be (swap-devices '("/dev/sda2"))
but in theory the guix reconfigure would complain about this mistake.

Yes, if this is from within an already running system and not just at the start prior to "guix system init foo.scm"

Indeed. See
(search for “swap”), or just “info -k swap” on your system.

HTH!

What I mean by no example is that there is a file with other examples
and not the swap example, which I think is essential to have in a
config.scm.

I did send my message to help-guix@gnu.org. I don't know how it ended
in this list.
