In an initramfs, I bet it is, though I've never tried it. Resuming from hibernate is handled by writing the major:minor of the block device to resume from into the /sys/power/resume file, and I would *guess* that the device node can be a device-mapper child (such as dm-crypt or LVM would create). The issue would be whether the device-mapper setup would have to be the same post-resume as it was pre-hibernate. I expect it would have to be, but this is no different from real filesystems; hibernate writes out all of RAM, so the kernel recovers all of its pre-hibernate state exactly. (Well, except things like the current time.) Of course, whether any given distro's initramfs setup can actually do this (assuming it's possible in the kernel) is a different story. :-) > It seems to me that there > is actually no software hook or script thet gets executed > during resume, >From hibernate, there is. It's a normal bootup, including initramfs, until some string gets written into /sys/power/resume. There might be restrictions on when this write can happen, but I'm sure they at least allow some initramfs code to run. >From suspend, there is no hook I know of. But suspend doesn't normally write anything to disk either, so that's fine. _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
