So, what the geckos out there think? Do you prefer to share swap partitions and save space or to have separate ones for better suspend isolation? Is there some implication or use-case that we have overlooked?
In any case, take into account that this will only be the proposed layout. You can always use expert partitioning to make your own.
I think the best default will be to use an existing swap-partition, if found and of adequate size. Those with a gazillion Linuxi installed will know how to change that.
Just including a warning for multiboot systems with more than Linux would be a big plus. My Idea would be a two lines with a radio button beforehand: [x] Each Linux gets its own private swap [ ] One swap for all Linux installations Please allow for a Help text below that, that gives the pro / contra for each option. IMHO the biggest minus in the implementation of hibernation per se is the non-handling of open files / application states. But that reaches much deeper, to the fact that only a very small number of applications are programmed in a way that includes handling system failure, and implement signal handlers for a 'system stop' event. The more 'modern' a complex application (even DE) is the more prone to catastrophic failure with data-loss in the event of a mishandled wake-up. A filesystem can sync and flush buffers as much as it want when the running apps have no way of saving state-save-files, and are forced to keep the volatile data in RAM (and thus saved to swap). Due to inconsisties in the mains power supply, I can not use suspend alone, hibernate is not as nice but works, but hybrid-sleep is what I use the most. The whole grub situation is dissatisfying, for me the salvage was chain-loading. On this dual boot CentOS 7 / Leap 42 box, I have Leap as the primary UEFI option, and in the Leap menu I have a chain load to the CentOS shim/grub, ditto in reverse, next step was disabling the "osprober". But that is work done by hand, there is not GUI for such a config. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
