:) Actually it can! This is the whole point of using a swap partition |
| 13 |
for hibernating! In fact, this is the only configuration I used (one |
| 14 |
swap partition to suspend to) for years, until I got a laptop with 4G |
| 15 |
ram I thought a large swap partition was a bit redundant. Now I |
| 16 |
hibernate to a file. |

tuxonice can hibernate to 1 or more swap partitions. |

actually it can also free up some ram, and your image is compressed |
| 29 |
using lzf which can achieve a claimed 30 - 50% but generally you should |
| 30 |
have enough free swap to cover the size of used RAM. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
If you have too little swap, tuxonice will "abort gracefully" |
