How so?
The proposal says "Having separate swap partitions is safer from the hibernation point of view," but it is not so. Booting system (B) while (A) is hibernated is terribly dangerous because the boot procedure of (B) will run fsck on the already mounted, but hibernated, filesystems that (A) mounted. When, in due time, system (A) thaws, it will try to use what he thinks are open files, on partitions that have run fsck on them meanwhile. The in-memory filesystem structures do not match the on-disk structures. This cycle causes terrible corruption, beyond repair. If you don't believe me, try it, in a virtual environment with two Linuxes that you can afford to destroy. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
