hibernation should only write the actively changed data (diry pages) from ram to disk, that definitely wont hit 100% of your physical RAM... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Server Team, which is subscribed to the bug report.

As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance Wishlist: Missing functionality. * If it is non-trivial to implement, it should rather be written as a feature specification, see FeatureSpecifications. It is possible to modify the default recipes, but that will harm the Desktop installations.

As ex-lead of Foundations and ex-release manager of 10.10, I'm well aware of bug definitions, thanks. I also know desktop users like hibernate, despite the project's decision to disable by default. I think the issue is that the decision on how to handle swap was taken back when Ubuntu was a

While I would tend to agree, I would say that default settings (e.g. 100% memory) is for the default/majority of systems. If memory on the machine is 100's of GB or even TBs, custom partman recipes should be used to tune the machine. While currently not supported, I would like to see magic
