I'm a bit confused about the 'swap volume' terminology here. As far as I know, swap disks are never stored as cinder volumes, they are ephemeral storage on the local compute host, as noted here:

https://docs.openstack.org/nova/latest/user/block-device-mapping.html#block-device-mapping-v2

"guest_format - Tells Nova how/if to format the device prior to attaching, should be only used with blank local images. Denotes a swap disk if the value is swap."

Are we talking about the same thing? And just the issue is that during the resize, the swap disk is not re-created on the destination host?
