Re: Squeeze. What is current hibernation mechanism?
Ok, let's start from the beginning.
ACPI state number 3 = suspend to ram.
ACPI state number 4 = suspend to disk.
In kernel 2.2 and 2.4 the suspention was almost manual.
On recent kernel 2.6 all is included if your BIOS support ACPI.
Well, what I was talking before is about state 4 suspend to disk.
I said at least RAM size SWAP if your are not a SWAPPER (have always swap = zero) because your have plenty of RAM or are not having to much workload.
if not, then you must have at least a SWAP with double RAM size.
When you suspend to disk by default all is written to SWAP partition.
If you don't have enough swap hibernation would fail, maybe forcing to restart you machine.
I hope it is clearer now the matter,
Bye.

Thanks for quick response.
Are you sure we are talking about hibernation, not suspend to RAM?
What if RAM and swap are both almost full? Where all that data will be
placed in a case of hibernation?
