> I am asking silly doubt. Why embedded linux not having swap partition, - From a design perspective, the design team will know how much RAM is required for a purpose built embedded device. This amount of RAM would have been provisioned physically. - For a general purpose device, we can safely assume permanent storage would typically be on board flash or memory cards. Any flash based permanent storage has a fixed `life` or write cycles after which it is likely to fail. Continuous use of swap file will reduce the effective life of the device.
