But what happens if swap space is all in use when hibernation is requested? Does the system refuse to hibernate? Or trash running process images?
That might depend on what's in swap. For example, if it's executables, which can easily be reloaded, then discard them to make room.
AFAIK, Linux doesn't do this. Windows does. No, now that I think, it doesn't: what it does is that it does not "swap" code, but dumps it and reloads from exe file when needed again. At least it did several versions back. The strategy saves disk space, but I don't think it is efficient speed wise. I understand that swapped apps at the time of hibernation are just left swapped out, untouched. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
