In practice, it would be nice because most of X would restore while you wait, it generally doesn't need the disk to do so unless you are heavy on swap (or used suspend-to-disk :), that's one example among others... At least letting other drivers restore in parallel, will improve things, even if actual running of userland programs might still be stalled until the disk kicks back in. But the whole experience of waking up the machine will be improved from a black text screen waiting for the drive to spin up ... :) Ben. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
