Unfortunately, however, it requires the filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is journaled, it cannot be mounted during resume from disk. For this reason to identify a swap file swsusp uses the name of the partition that holds the file and the offset from the beginning of the partition at which the swap file’s header is located. For convenience, this offset is expressed in <PAGE_SIZE> units.Surely the absolute position of any file in a file system couldn't be relied upon to always be the same?
Of course it can. How is it going to move around? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
