Swap to file is not as fast, and I have the feeling that restore may be at too low a level to use it. There are some options on where the suspend data is written, I'm sorry I can't recall the details other than the fact that you can control that. Look for a boot option or something. This came out of a discussion I initiated regarding a restore requiring booting the same kernel that was suspended. The consensus was that that might not be true in the future, restoring whatever was suspended was possible if desired.
Well, I'm convinced then. Two swap spaces it will be. Does anyone see anything wrong with 2.5 GB of swap space for a machine with 2 GB of physical memory? I know the old adage of RAM*2.5 however, in the days that adage was made, machines did not have 2 GB of physical RAM. In fact Physical+swap didn't even get to 1 GB. I only want the swap so that the machine will have a place to put the RAM when I suspend. This machine also has 256 MB of video RAM, that I understand must be stored as well, that's why I'll allocate 2.5 GB. Thanks in advance. Dotan Cohen http://lyricslist.com/ http://what-is-what.com/
