I have a Notebook with 4G ram and I heard very often that the swap partition
is pretty useless. If you don't agree with this (I haven't any reference and
maybe I heard false claims) then please explain why.
Anyway, the actual reason for thinking about it is my plan to create an
encrypted partition where all my sensible data will be stored.
I *don't* want to install everything new and encrypt the whole disk. For a
big part of my data I consider it the lesser evil knowing these files in the
wrong hands instead of don't having access to them ever again.
But I know that an encrypted partition is no good if my swap is still in use.
How can I remove it?
Just removing the partition will certainly cause a lot of trouble in the
system.
Is deleting the correct line from fstab erasing the partition enough?
