minus-squareInfiltrated_ad8271@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up23arrow-down2·1 year ago Hibernation into swap files backed by Btrfs are now supported. So, with btrfs on ssd, is there any use case for a swap partition?
minus-squarefalsem@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up25arrow-down1·1 year agoUse case is not having enough RAM?
minus-squarebdonvr@thelemmy.clublinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI think what they mean is that you can just make a swap FILE instead, which you can grow and shrink as needed. No need to mess with partitioning.
minus-squareInfiltrated_ad8271@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoYep. In fact my comment seemed so clear to me that I assumed it was some kind of joke, but looking at the votes, maybe swapfiles aren’t as well known as I thought.
minus-squarerotopenguin@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoDo you mean that you don’t have to find the LBA of the extents of your swap file, and put that into a kernel argument anymore? Cuz that is a nasty, skanky hack.
minus-squareInfiltrated_ad8271@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoI’ve never heard of that, it’s beyond me. So it’s an increased risk when tweaking the kernel? As an average home user it’s all right?
