If you want to resume from NFS, you will need an initramfs that correctly passes the swap device for resuming. |

I would try the same method as resuming from encrypted swap. |

I appreciate the response, I'm not trying to use hibernate but rather suspend to ram. I don't use swap over NFS, the machines that do have hard drives installed use them for local swap and cachefilesd (which is amazingly performant) |

In the past when I've tried to use an initramfs, it's lead to boot hangs that I haven't quite figured out the root cause for, I was trying to use genkernel to build them, maybe I'll give dracut a shot and see if that fixes the problem, you could very well be on to something. |

I believe "suspend to ram" might switch off the network (and kill a NFS connection in the process). This might be the cause of the issue. |
| 22 |
Do the nodes have enough memory to load the filesystem into RAM and run from there? (Like sysresccd can do) |
| 23 |
If yes, that might allow this to work. |

Probably not enough ram, the lowest machine has 4 gigs, as an update I installed and tried out dracut, that didn't make any difference but each system booted fine an initrd which is a change for sure. If I manually suspend for up to say 10 seconds, they resume just fine. I like the idea S2ram killing the network as the cause, I thought enabling wake on lan would keep it from being switched off, I'll see if I can research the suspending/resuming routines and blacklist or whatever to keep it running, thanks for the tip :) |
