Toot

Written by Corb_The_Lesser on 2025-01-23 at 12:03

Hibernation requires a physical storage area equal to the size of RAM. In #Linux, this is the swap partition. Partitioning happens before an OS is installed. Gimmicky ways exist to repartition storage on an installed system that are inherently risky and cannot work in all situations.

I don't know what Windows does that it calls hibernation. Hardware vendors and their BIOSes often enable only the specific types of suspend Windows enables.

@Corb_The_Lesser it is possible to hibernate using a swap file. No need for a swap partition

@Corb_The_Lesser we use a swap file for 6 years on Ubuntu , it s a bit more complicated than a partition for hibernation

@freechelmi The default swap file in Ubuntu is 2 gigs, I think. If a user opts for hibernation, that file size is increased sufficiently?

@freechelmi I checked a default 25.04 install here on an older machine and its 4, not 2, gigs.
