[linux-pm] Software suspend support in Fedora.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

Actually, more responses to the fedora discussion:

No, swsusp can not yet resume from swap file. It would need to mount
the filesystem, first, and as you know that is not good idea. (Even
read-only mount replays journal on ext3, beware).

SMP support is way more experimental than UP support. It uses cpu
hotplug infrastructure, etc...

We have some ppc support, but it was not officially blessed by BenH,
and it it did not get much testing. No chance for ppc/SMP support for
example.

Suspend should work okay on PATA [what areas do you think it is
incomplete in?]. Recently, it was made to work on SATA, too
[experimental, I'd say]. It did not eat data recently due to SATA/PATA
problems. It is broken on most SCSI drivers (well, probably all of
them), but it is likely that you'll "just" get a crash in such case.
