Hello,

I am going to buy new laptop with two drives, one SSD and one HDD and I
want to place swap partition on HDD which will be most time unused and
therefore spinned down. Problem is, that I don't know, if or how often is
kernel touching swap space even if there is lot of free memory and thus
spinning HDD up.

Thank you in advance
