But since I am currently maintaining both modules, this is not relevant.
But this seems to be more a problem of the Yast Storage module than AutoYast, right? So does the storage module actually propose swap size >=RAM on laptops when the user asks for a partitioning proposal?
No, as you already looked up, the swap size proposal has a hard upper size limit of 2G. And you are right this is not optimal for hibernation.
From the fact that we do not get complaints or bugreports about that, I would assume not a large number of non-tech-savy linux user use laptops with more than 2Gig RAM. But in my opinion linux on laptops is a marginally percentage anyway (probably by far most linux laptop users work for linux companies ;-) and laptops with linux preinstalled, the size can be chosen correctly.
Unfortunately changing swap size for all systems would probably cause more trouble (e.g. in area of o virtual machines with small virtual disks). And it is not too easy to detect if a machine is a Laptop from looking at hardware data. I am not a kernel expert and so I do not know if one could use a file. Certainly not without significant changes in resume handling and probably not in the general case (e.g. on LVM, Raid) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
