[New: openFATE 318422] Visibility of increase of swap partition size for hibernation during install
Feature added by: Enno Nagel (Konfekt) Feature #318422, revision 1 Title: Visibility of increase of swap partition size for hibernation during install openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Enno Nagel (konfekt) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When partitioning the harddrive where openSUSE 13.2 will install, the option to increase the swap drive to allow for hibernation is hidden in a subdialogue. Because this is a popular feature on desktop installations, and people are reluctant (and the installer discourages) to change the suggested partitioning, the option should be not in a subdialogue but directly visible. Another good reason for a larger default size of the swap partition on an SSD is that overprovisioning (that is, the intentional allocation of unused space, see anandtech.com for studies on this) is still recommended for most models. The swap disk suggests itself for the allocation of that unused space (as it will mostly be unused, but when RAM is short [or its image incompressable if hibernation is used] of good use). -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/318422
