Hi folks, Someone on the OpenMoko community list commented recently about having created a swap file on the SD card of their OpenMoko Neo phone and said that they'd been lazy as they'd not made a swap partition.
My thought was that with an SSD aware filesystem like btrfs a swapfile would actually be a smarter move than a swap partition because it lets the filesystem try and even the wear generated by access to it which a swap partition will not have the freedom to do. To me that makes logical sense but given the complexity of the kernel and btrfs is it a fair comment to make and, also, would that be the case with btrfs at present ? cheers!
