Can't !Fedora hibernate to RAM?
about a year ago from mustard-
@nj3ma You can suspend to RAM, but you cannot (by definition) hibernate to RAM. Hibernating means that it does not need to power the RAM.
-
@nj3ma Nothing Hibernates to RAM Hibernation clears the RAM and turns it off
-
@nj3ma hibernate is always to disk. You want suspend (to ram). Fedora supports both but hibern. isn't very useful these days (too slow).
-
@slankes But I think it is. When battery power goes low for instance.
-
@skreech2 Going about setting up swap. Curious: How then do windoze machines hibernate?
-
@slankes How then would I go about setting up a swap file?
-
@nj3ma agreed. The few times I run out of juice, I'll prefer to shutdown (cold start is often faster than resume from disk).
-
@nj3ma Look in the %SYSTEMROOT% dir for a 5GB file named hiberfil.sys
-
@skreech2 You are kidding, right?
-
@nj3ma No It's right beside the 3GB Swap file named pagefil.sys
-
@skreech2 On Windows?
-
@nj3ma Isn't that what you asked about? Why would Linux do something that horrible to you?
-
@skreech2 Thanks I will pass.:-)
-
@nathaniel73 Get that, cheers!
-
@nj3ma Ah A linux swap file. You really really want a partition but if you want to test a file http://tinyurl.com/2kcl9o should help
-
@skreech2 I was disparaging Windoze as usual...seems you didn't get it. Sad. :-D
-
@skreech2 Thanks for the explanation all the same. Not in the least intimate with the internal workings of Windoze.
-
@nj3ma Oh I'm with you on it. I'm just much more subtle about it. Like giving facts. Very Disparaging ;-)
-
@nj3ma you dont hibernate to ram, you can only suspend to ram, hibernation is to HDD
-
@nj3ma linux can also pm-suspend-hybrid (writing ram to disk but keep ram powered), like mac os does. didn’t try it though.
