Umm... if you're hibernating to the same swap partition you're using |
| 34 |
when the system's live... I'm pretty sure you can't do that... even if |
| 35 |
everything does manage to fit, having sort out what belongs back in |
| 36 |
ram and what doesn't ... it's not a very sane thing to expect the |
| 37 |
kernel+userspace tools there to do. If I recall from last time I |
| 38 |
considered setting it up on my system, software hibernate needs an |
| 39 |
otherwise unused swap partition that's just a little bigger than the |
| 40 |
amount of physical ram in your system. |
