I can confirm that the following statement in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#Why_do_I_need_swap.3F is wrong:
> The hibernation implementation currently used in Ubuntu, swsusp, needs a swap or suspend partition. It cannot use a swap file on an active file system. In fact, swsusp supports offsets just fine, and so does initramfs-tools - mostly. The only thing blocking hibernation to a swap file from working is that check in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local- premount/resume script. It calls wait-for-root which returns "ext4" because no offset has been passed in. So the script will just assume that no hibernation occurred and continue without resuming. While I opted for simply removing the check, I strongly suspect that Ryo's patch will fix the issue just as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1644975 Title: Resume from disk (swapfile) fails To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1644975/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
