Looks like some N900 do not like to be used without swap on eMMC!

I got some other strange issue when using only SD swap:
the UI froze (freezed?, not native speaker ) completely. Similar or maybe exactly like
https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9150

, without sgx_misr eating all CPU. But Xorg consuming lots of CPU (saw it using ssh).

I had no clue what was going on and why, but afairc I had set my swap space to SD exclusively (compcache disabled since it was not of use to me). And this happened to me almost daily or more often.
Later on I switched back to have my SD swap on higher priority, but still have my eMMC swap on lower (default -1) priority. So it is used only for a few MB during startup and for refreshing my SD swap from time to time. Since then this did not occur anymore. Hopefully it is gone forever!
But still in testing phase ....


@patlak
Please report back about your experience. But maybe in SD swap thread, as it seems (at least for me and I read from your post, also for you) not to be related to compcache.
