Yes.
I have to side with Anton, there is no absolute need. If your system is running out of memory, buy more memory, not swap space.
Sure. IF the machine can accept more memory modules. Mine will not.
If you are memory-constrained and dependent on swap, then using an SSD for swap will no doubt help. That is the only situation, otherwise it is not necessary.
Which is the case. I recognize the symptoms James sees because I saw them in my machine.
I dunno if that is the case, I haven't followed this thread. I just disagree with your claim that "modern swap can not cope when set on rotating rust. You need to move it to an SSD disk.". It is just not true.
It is true. If you have a trashing situation. Try it. On 13.1 it worked well, on Leap 42 it did not. Same machine, same load.
He says that the machine does not respond. That's what happened to me, till I set the swap on ssd.
your thrashing is now just less noticeable. You put a bandaid on a broken bone, nothing healed.
Can you give any solution? Using the same applications, the same machine, the same ram. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
