[Bug 1855464] New: how to create and activate swapfiles post-install

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1855464 Bug ID: 1855464 Summary: how to create and activate swapfiles post-install Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Status: NEW Component: docs-requests Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com Reporter: bugzilla(a)colorremedies.com QA Contact: docs-qa(a)lists.fedoraproject.org CC: nobody(a)fedoraproject.org, sparks(a)redhat.com, zach(a)oglesby.co Target Milestone: --- Classification: Fedora This feature means by default there will be no swap partition by default https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/SwapOnZRAM Some folks might want/need disk based swap. swapfiles: pros: easy to setup; no reboot required; supported on btrfs, ext4, xfs; removable cons: hibernation is sketchy. it should work on ext4, might work on xfs, does not work on btrfs (it can but requires a tool to find an offset, due to the lack of a standard interface across all file systems, for automatically finding the offset) https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20200127192548.GA683123@vader/ partition: pros: no limitations cons: takes up space, isn't resizeable; more complicated/risky to create; requires reboot. Notes: The installer's custom partitioning will continue to permit the creation of a swap partition and will configure for hibernation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the QA Contact for the bug.
