(later: thinks) or is there a nifty Qubes way to get the virtual disk xvdc always initialised to an empty but swap-formatted disk? A kind of swap template? That would allow the installed image to run unaltered.
Seems to me this issue must have arisen before? Equally a windows user could format xvdc and create the virtual memory file on it (whose name I forget) and add nothing else. Coming back to Linux, AFAIK mkswap only writes 1kB or so to mark the disk/partition usuable by swap, and I understand it does this to avert embarrasssing mistakes like mounting you OS disk as swap... If this is correct, an image of an unused but initialised swap disk would only take up 1k while the machine is inactive R~~ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
