I have set up a nightly hibernation routine (see below) but it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. It appears to be completely random. When I invoke it manually, via 'systemctl hibernate' it invariably works. $ systemctl status hibernate-preparation hibernate-resume ○ hibernate-preparation.service - Enable swap file and disable zram before hibernate Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hibernate-preparation.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead) ○ hibernate-resume.service - Disable swap after resuming from hibernation Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/hibernate-resume.service; enabled; preset: disabled) Drop-In: /usr/lib/systemd/system/service.d └─10-timeout-abort.conf Active: inactive (dead) $ cat hibernate-preparation.service [Unit] Description=Enable swap file and disable zram before hibernate Before=systemd-hibernate.service [Service] User=root Type=oneshot ExecStart=/bin/bash -c /usr/sbin/swapon /SWAP/swapfile && /usr/sbin/swapoff /dev/zram0 [Install] WantedBy=systemd-hibernate.service $ cat hibernate-resume.service [Unit] Description=Disable swap after resuming from hibernation After=hibernate.target [Service] User=root Type=oneshot ExecStart=/usr/sbin/swapoff /SWAP/swapfile [Install] WantedBy=hibernate.target When it fails, I get this in the journal: Aug 13 01:05:25 Bree systemd[1]: Reached target sleep.target - Sleep.

The difference is that in the failure case it's not seeing the swap file, but that file always exists and has the correct permissions: # ls -lhZ /SWAP/swapfile -rw-------. 1 root root unconfined_u:object_r:swapfile_t:s0 32G Jul 12 12:46 /SWAP/swapfile # df -h /SWAP Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on - 1.9T 1.6T 246G 87% /SWAP [root@Bree log]# file /SWAP /SWAP: directory (/SWAP is a BTRFS subvolume with COW turned off) I'm at a loss. Any thoughts? poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
