Suspend to disk

[davidb]

Hello all,

suspend to disk is not working on my Lenovo Thinkpad E530.
It seems to save the image but doesn't resume the session on reboot.
Suspend to ram works just fine.
I don't know what kind of information you need to help me. But here is the last pm-suspend.log entry:

the resume=swap=UUID is correct and the swap also has the same size as my ram.

[ralul]

resume=swap=UUID=cf6980f2-2bf3-4031-96fc-4b568fae0948

what if just:
resume=UUID=cf6980f2-2bf3-4031-96fc-4b568fae0948
Or if there is a bug in UUID handling:
resume=/dev/sda8

[Sir_Aim]

the resume=swap=UUID is correct and the swap also has the same size as my ram.

On my system I realized that the same size as RAM was not enough to suspend to disk. I increased the swap size from 8GB to 12GB and it works (at least most of the time).

My GRUB entry is resume=swap=UUID=$UID

[DeepDayze]

Isn't a good idea to make your swap at least 1.5X your RAM size? That rule of thumb will help in situations like this

That is a windows theory

Yep I know that but would that trick also work with Linux?

[dibl]

With swap=2X memory, I have never had any issue regarding swap or suspend.  

[Smon]

32 GB Swap? oO

[piper]

32 GB Swap? oO

Exactly +1

Linux is not windows and treats ram differently, if 4 gigs of ram or more, actually no need for swap (of course depending on how you use your computer)

I know for sure I'm not going to make a 16 to 32 gb swap (depending on what machine I am using)

[dibl]

If you take 200 .gif images and use gimp to assemble them into a video, you will learn something about how much swap you might need.  :wink:
