In /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt the swap is disabled before any file systems are umounted. Is there any reason why we can't have "umount -a -t tmpfs" before doing the swapoff? If you have a tmpfs file system with a large amount of data (more than RAM) then "swapoff -a" is not going to give a good result. With a default configuration /dev/shm will be half of RAM, which on a modern laptop will be at least 256M and maybe 512M. If that has been paged out (EG from running memory hungry programs such as Firefox) then paging that in from a slow laptop hard disk (and needlessly draining the battery) on shutdown is a bad idea when the data can be discarded by umounting the file system. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
