Why are all these workarounds preferred, instead of proper suspend support for swap files? IOW, what reasons are there to *not* support swap files, other than the hit-and-miss Linux suspend support? I brought up the swap file issue to illustrate that writing hibernation images to files needs to be supported anyway. Once you have that, there is no good reason to write the hibernation image to swap, and several reasons not to. That my particular problem might be messily worked around isn't really important in the context of that argument, which no one has responded to. (Aside from adding more administrivia to my Macintosh's setup, your LVM suggestion would prevent the ext3 drivers for Windows and OS X from working, as they don't do LVM. This is arguably not Linux's problem -- but Linux *already supports* a working solution). -- Joseph Fannin jfannin@xxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
