[Please don't top-post] At least some of the contortions I've gone through are due to using a BTRFS subvolume as the hibernation target. This involves some messing about with SElinux attributes, COW etc., not to mention special trickery to get the appropriate UUID (blkid gives you the UUID of the physical device, which is not what you need). However the rest of it involves turning the target on and off so as not to interfere with the normal swap system, hence the systemd units. It could certainly be made a lot easier and more automatic. Editing the Grub line isn't the only way to set it up however. There are a couple of entries in /sys/power/resume* which could in principal be poked directly, however they aren't currently documented in sysfs(5) so I decided to be conservative. It's all working now, touch wood. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
