Subject: bug#23876: [Guix Info][7.1.4] Should remind user to add a swap partition
Date: Fri, 01 Jul 2016 12:27:20 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1017761467350840@web1j.yandex.ru> (raw)

Hi guys!

If I may suggest, in Guix info that is displayed at console Alt+F2, a user should be reminded to add a swap partition.

I forgot to do that first time, and so my "guix system --fallback init /mnt/etc/config.scm /mnt" got killed by OOM killer after about 10 hours.

Even if a user is not building from source, a swap partition should be handy in case the RAM is limited and/or in case hibernating is later desired.

BTW, I am capable of making patches. So, if you'd like me to make a patch, just tell me the source tree to make a diff against.

Thank you.
