last, about the swap partition… I have an image with a swap partition defined,
tried to use it in a template, but I am facing several boot hangups associated
to swap file creation (it did not happen in OpenNebula 3.2). I read in the docs
(<a href="http://docs.opennebula.org/stable/user/virtual_machine_setup/bcont.html">http://docs.opennebula.org/stable/user/virtual_machine_setup/bcont.html</a>) that
“…The contextualization package will also mount any partition labeled </font></span><span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:"Courier New";font-size:10pt">swap</span></span><span lang="EN-US"><font size="3"><font face="Calibri"> as swap…” . Does that mean we should at first create an image without
swap and then setup in OpenNebula template configuration, which will use this
image, a volatile disk, swap type? Is that the correct/suggested way to work?</font></font></span></font></p><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
