It looks like it support swapfiles. I still don't think a sparse file<br>
backing a loop device as a swap device will work for suspend to disk,<br>
but it may just be a matter of creativity. If this is a laptop I think<br>
you're better off with swap on the internal drive and just make up the<br>
space you've lost some other way. If you ever have to grab it and go<br>
you don't want an object attached that can get caught on something and<br>
snapped off. If the laptop has an optical drive, remove it and put in<br>
a hard drive to supplement the SSD.<br>

The nand flash sinks completely into the multi-flash<br>
reader/writer, nothing to protrude. So I think this<br>
is a good solution for my situation. I really do not<br>
want to back up 2TB drive, repartition it to create<br>
a 16GB swap partition and restore the rest.<br>
Too gosh darned time consuming.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
