I believe it can also use a swap file, so you can add one to a partition with space. However, when there's more than one swap, I think you need to set a kernel parameter for the system to look in the right place for its resuming data. > And swap space is rarely used here, IIRC .. Generally speaking, the same here. But when I had a system with less RAM, web browsers were terrible at wasting RAM. If you had enough tabs open, or hit a badly coded website, the system would start paging and never recover unless I managed to kill the web browser. Often I couldn't, because the system was so unresponsive you couldn't use the mouse or keyboard. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.7-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed May 2 21:45:56 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
