However, this is rather unlikely when the computer is used as a desktop/laptop, don’t you think? The only times when I actually used my swap space was when some program went rampant and decided to require more memory than available. During normal operation, my swap space is seldomly used. > It'd be perfectly reasonable practice to have a separate swap > file/partition for hibernating to and swapon that before hibernating. Certainly, but, for example on a SSD, space is still ‘scarce’ and it makes therefore sense to think whether one has to be able to suspend at all costs. If this is still necessary, one could also think about using only one swap space and swapon it before suspend (and swapoff afterwards).
