Hello,
I did an installation of current TW on a new HD. Laptop is having 8GB RAM and a 960 GB SSD (Yes, got me a new one - Kingston this time, after Samsung Evo died 1 month after the 3yr warranty period - and Samsung proofed that they are not consumer oriented. But thats a different story...)
Partition proposal was: 2GB - Swap 40GB - btrfs root 840GB - XFS home
2GB swap with 8GB RAM does not sound healthy for hibernation - should the proposal not be at least the RAM size?
Cheers Axel
Two shoutouts here: 1. You want suspend-to-disk aka hibernate? Your hibernate file or partition needs to be more than 50% of your RAM, 50%+1MB is minimum for "safe" 2. Using "Tumbleweed" with its often and big updates needs SPAAACE on the Rootfs (/) a. for the snapshots (and they pile up until YOU, the user, canges the defaults). b. for the packages (if set to keep) and repo-indexes in /var/cache/zypp Below 60GB for the rootfs you risk a filled up btrfs, balance and quota issues, need for often and manual maintainance of the fs and so on. In your case, you have the space, go for minimum the double of the proposal for the rootfs, and save yourself some headaches. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
