Hi, all --
I am finally breaking out my Linux Mag DVD to install on my shiny used laptop, and the partitioner has me scratching my head. I have 8G of RAM, and I gave myself about 17G of swap space when I laid out the disk. The partitioner has a check box for "Enlarge swap for suspend", although it isn't selectable (perhaps because I have my OS partition right behind it?). Sooooo...
How much swap do I need if I'm planning to suspend to disk (aka hibernate as compared to sleep, but I forget the s2/s3/... stages)?
You need as much swap space as you have RAM If you have given yourself 17GB of swap space with 8GB of RAM, you have over twice as much swap space as you need for hibernation Without hibernation I think it is a total waste of disk space to use anything more than 2GB swap IIRC the official openSUSE recommended sizing of swap is 2x RAM-size, but no larger than 2GB, unless you want Hibernation, in which case it is 2GB or 1x RAM-size, whichever is the larger -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
