You will just have a system that was not "properly" shut down, and that will be all. So I feel one swap is even safer than two swaps.
However...
The second system will probably look at the swap and see it has an hibernation image. It may attempt to load it, maybe see the signature does not match the new kernel, perhaps abort. If it doesn't abort, but just disable that swap, disaster may arise. It may erase the image and continue, and then it will see some dirty filesystems it will try to correct.
But that is not very different from hard-rebooting your computer. I do that all the time. When my system takes another 5 eaons to shut down, or, it accidentally boots when I was doing something else, and I don't feel like waiting 5 minutes before the thing is back again. I never get in trouble as far as I know.
IMHO, it should abort and ask. Maybe the user recognizes the situation and can attempt to boot the correct system in order to close it properly, then retry the second system.
Personally? That would take so much time, I probably would want to just go ahead. Then again, you don't know if you have really forgotten and you have some important files open and unsaved. But I'd take the ball. I'd risk the thing. And it's only relevant for dual booting Linux and I don't see myself doing that just like that but, .... to each his own I guess. I'll just go hang in a tree and play with monkeys instead. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
