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
Which would cause my computer to crash. cer@Telcontar:~> free -h total used free shared buffers cached Mem: 7,8G 7,6G 162M 118M 420M 3,3G - -/+ buffers/cache: 3,9G 3,9G Swap: 23G 6,1G 17G cer@Telcontar:~> Notice: I'm actually using 6.1 GB of swap, and my RAM is 8 GiB. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
