Read the manual page "man swapon": swapon may not work correctly when using a swap file with some versions of btrfs. Thus if you want to allow the kernel to swap, then using a swap file that resides on btrfs might not be an option. Many systems get along just fine without any swap space (neither a file nor a partition.) Yet the option to use swap space can be very convenient, even on a system which has "plenty" of RAM. This is especially true for Fedora, where a default desktop can have more than 100 processes, and where Xorg, a mail client, and a web browser deal with hundreds of megabytes of space at a time. For instance, my lightly-loaded desktop box has 4GB RAM but /usr/bin/top says 21MB of swap space is in use. If possible, then you should consider putting a swap *file* of 30MB to 80MB on your /boot partition. Otherwise, from time to time some of your running processes will find that malloc() fails, even for "small" amounts; and many processes don't react well when malloc() fails. -- -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
