Still, letting the disks go to sleep is a good thing, IMO. This "should" work.
I've never managed to get any of the standby modes to work. I've tried using KPowersave on KDE, but asking it to initialise standby mode only causes the system to hard crash: It gets totally jummed after having suspended processes, and cannot be recovered without forcing a hard reboot via the motherboard.
Ah, you mean suspend to disk, or hibernating. I was thinking simply of spinning down a disk, but I have only succeeded with auxiliary disks, not the one holding root.
On the other hand, I routinely hibernate my computer to disk, instead of halting the computer to power it off. It works very well for me, and it is way faster than halting/booting.
I kinda missed who wrote what about this function, but IIRC, I would have consistent crashes of the filing system (reiser) under 9.3 when suspending to disk and trying to resume. These problems went away in 10.0 and have not been present at all in 10.2. I suspend my laptops to disk on a routine basis and have yet to see an issue. -- ka -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
