I tried doing something like this awhile ago. The problem I encountered |
| 25 |
was that I couldn't disable the swap once the the device was removed, |
| 26 |
swapoff couldn't find the device path(as it wasn't there anymore) but |
| 27 |
the system thought the swap was still there. So plugging and unplugging |
| 28 |
the swap stick got my system thinking it had loads of swap. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
But I didn't experiment all that much, maybe there's a way. Tricking |
| 31 |
udev to hold on to the device node until swap is disabled might be |
| 32 |
possible. |
