Feature changed by: Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) Feature #305737, revision 13 Title: remove warning of missing swap from expert partitioner openSUSE-11.2: Rejected by Michael Löffler (michl19) reject date: 2009-04-16 12:53:11 reject reason: out of scope for 11.2 Priority Requester: Desirable - openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed + openSUSE Distribution: Rejected by Karl Cheng (qantas94heavy) + reject reason: RAM may have increased significantly but program usage + also has. It doesn't really impede installation anyway. Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Arvin Schnell (aschnell) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: There are requests to remove the warning about a missing swap device from the expert partitioner for systems with only SSDs. I want to go one step further and remove the warning altogether since RAM has increased so much in the past. Relations: - proposal for SSD (novell/bugzilla/id: 467874) https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=467874 Discussion: #1: Holger Macht (hmacht) (2012-09-25 17:02:30) You need a valid swap partition in order to let suspend to disk (ACPI S4) work. A swap file would be possible, too, however, this is not implemented/integrated into our infrastructure and would be worth yet another feature. #2: Jan Engelhardt (jengelh) (2012-10-07 21:14:22) While RAM set sizes may have increased for servers, netbooks still have the same lousy configurations as 3 years ago (1 GB RAM), which firefox fills easily especially when flash pages are open. The warning message should stay - it does not impact the ability to install the system. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305737
