Which begs the next question... howsabout if I turn swap off as part |
| 13 |
of the hibernation process? I.e. in /etc/hibernate/hibernate.conf |
| 14 |
include the lines... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
OnSuspend 00 swapoff /dev/sda6 |
| 17 |
OnResume 00 swapon /dev/sda6 |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
or for that matter, what's the worst that can happen if I turn off |
| 20 |
swap alltogether, and run out of memory? Is it catastrophic, or merely |
| 21 |
inconvenient (additional programs refuse to launch)? |
