Enable the possibility of suspending the machine.
|
||||
It doesn't need ACPI or APM.
|
||||
You may suspend your machine by 'swsusp' or 'shutdown -z <time>'
|
||||
(patch for sysvinit needed).
|
||||
Enable the suspend to disk (STD) functionality.
|
||||
|
||||
It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon next
|
||||
You can suspend your machine with 'echo disk > /sys/power/state'.
|
||||
Alternatively, you can use the additional userland tools available
|
||||
from <http://suspend.sf.net>.
|
||||
|
||||
In principle it does not require ACPI or APM, although for example
|
||||
ACPI will be used if available.
|
||||
|
||||
It creates an image which is saved in your active swap. Upon the next
|
||||
boot, pass the 'resume=/dev/swappartition' argument to the kernel to
|
||||
have it detect the saved image, restore memory state from it, and
|
||||
continue to run as before. If you do not want the previous state to
|
||||
be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel argument. However, note
|
||||
that your partitions will be fsck'd and you must re-mkswap your swap
|
||||
partitions. It does not work with swap files.
|
||||
be reloaded, then use the 'noresume' kernel command line argument.
|
||||
Note, however, that fsck will be run on your filesystems and you will
|
||||
need to run mkswap against the swap partition used for the suspend.
|
||||
|
||||
Right now you may boot without resuming and then later resume but
|
||||
in meantime you cannot use those swap partitions/files which were
|
||||
involved in suspending. Also in this case there is a risk that buffers
|
||||
on disk won't match with saved ones.
|
||||
It also works with swap files to a limited extent (for details see
|
||||
<file:Documentation/power/swsusp-and-swap-files.txt>).
|
||||
|
||||
Right now you may boot without resuming and resume later but in the
|
||||
meantime you cannot use the swap partition(s)/file(s) involved in
|
||||
suspending. Also in this case you must not use the filesystems
|
||||
that were mounted before the suspend. In particular, you MUST NOT
|
||||
MOUNT any journaled filesystems mounted before the suspend or they
|
||||
will get corrupted in a nasty way.
|
||||
|
||||
For more information take a look at <file:Documentation/power/swsusp.txt>.
|
||||
|
||||
(For now, swsusp is incompatible with PAE aka HIGHMEM_64G on i386.
|
||||
we need identity mapping for resume to work, and that is trivial
|
||||
to get with 4MB pages, but less than trivial on PAE).
