Re: [maemo-developers] swapfile is a huge improvement!

[Larry Battraw]

  From what I remember when I've tried it, it generally crashes/reboots when you remove the card.  Can't remember if the same thing happens when you insert the USB cable.  I've found a way around the problems with it unmounting because of the USB cable: I created a second partition (it's a 1GB card) and made the swapfile there.  I can use ext3 to get proper permissions/execute support as well, so it's quite nice.  The only hangup is having to manually remount it after a reboot, but it's worth the trouble.  A GUI tool for toggling swap and mounts would sure be neat!  Removing the card while the second partition is mounted is not a good idea and sometimes it takes a reboot to fix it.

Brad,

with swap on, what happens to the system when you manually remove the
mmc card? Or when you connect the USB cable to the unit?
