Hi there, in order to use suspend to disk one has to set a swap partition with the "resume=" option in the bootloader. Okay. But, if I have e.g. 2 GB of RAM I should have 2 GB swap space for suspend to disk.
In the past, no. It would even refuse to suspend if you had two swaps defined. now I have two, and it works, but I don't know if it uses one for hibernation or both; I guess it ignores the second for the image, but it uses both for frozen apps.
You can set up both, and set "resume" to one of them, and try. I believe it will refuse to go ahead if there is insuficient space.
This is exactly what I did, set up all swap partitions (actually 3, each 1 GB) and specified only 1 with resume= So far it works fine, hibernated correctly and woke up correctly. I hope hibernation will detect and complain automatically if there's not enough swap space...
