Absolutely!
You (Novell) should remember that a system must be tested before been allowed to hibernate. And for compliance, certified, too: openSUSE can not be certified.
Default configuration should be to _suspend_ (the fast one), not to hibernate. And we have a whitelist for all working machines which are able to _suspend_. For desktops, I guess these are still quite a few.
Suspend to memory in my desktop is broken, the cpu fans stops and the cpu reaches very high temperatures. Known bios bug, not your problem: nevertheless, dangerous if 'you' decide to suspend my machine. You should not neither suspend or hibernate a machine by default, this must be the owner decision. This is openSUSE, not sles/sled.
Question: What will happen if the user has opened files on external USB media, he leaves for a long coffe, and on return the machine is hibernated?
I have a Bugzilla about that since ages: in this case the usb storage system crashes. The mount is there, but the disk is not accesible. Opened files woud be damaged.
Different problem, however a problem ;-)
Has Novell tested, solved, and certified that this works correctly now?
Do you have the bug id?
Yes, 439663. And it took me an entire afternoon to prepare the test, run it, and report it. I'd expect it not to be dismissed after a perfunctory read. The old bug was 343874, which was closed as INVALID because that disk was mounted via fstab (!). The current one I tested with: - a reiser partition mounted via fstab - a reiser partition mounted automatically by gnome desktop - an encrypted (LUKS) reiser partition mounted via /etc/crypttab, /etc/fstab/, via the script /etc/init.d/boot.crypto - an encrypted (LUKS) reiser partition mounted automatically via the desktop - a flash type usb keychain with vfat mounted automatically. The main problem is that a mounted external filesystem changes device when thawed, from /dev/sda to /dev/sdc, for example. It does not survive. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
