Also, for those wanting to be able to hibernate Linux and boot Windows, they have to disable the script '/usr/lib/pm-utils/sleep.d/99Zgrub'.
That risks devices being left in a different state, to how the hibernate system expects. There was notes on LWN about the resume trying it's best, but probably the "if it breaks you get to keep both pieces" saying applies there. There's also suggestions to only mount read-only the 'other' systems partitions, to avoid corruption.
Yes, of course it is dangerous, but the danger is simply that of mounting r/w a partition that was opened when suspended. Thus, if from linux you:
umount all windows partitions s2disk reboot to windows do not mount any linux partitions reboot to suspended linux
you are safe. I have done this often in the past: now I run a virtual windows instead. However, I would not dare to hibernate linux and boot to another linux: the other linux might run fsck on the suspended partitions. Havoc!
It is like saying: don't cross the road, it is dangerous. Ok, fine, but if the danger is well known and the cars avoided, you can cross.
People in a hurry using Google might find your solution, and such might stumble across it, without realising the risks. If they do that, they should know it's risky and not be surprised if they run into trouble. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
