[opensuse] Swap Size for suspend to disk
Is the swap partition still used for suspend to disk in 11.2? I increased my memory in my lap top since I set up 11.2, and my swap partition is no longer adequate to accommodate it. I'm wondering if this is going to be a problem when I try to suspend to disk. --jsa -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Of course.

It might. Depends on how much is used, and how much can be compressed. To be safe, you need more⁽¹⁾ swap thanRAM. ⁽¹⁾ Definition of "more" is not double. It is "as much as needed". >:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

It is. But there had been improvements to circumvent issues like yours.

Using a swap file might be an alternative. I've not used this in combination with suspend. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany
