[SOLVED-using_tuxonice]pm-hibernate not storing cache

archman-cro · 2010-05-03 06:02:25

I guess I've put this thread in the right place.

Anyone knows why pm-hibernate doesn't put all the cache and entire ram in the hibernate image?
I have 1,2GB of RAM and a 1GB swap on my laptop.Sometimes when I go to hibernate I see there is, in example, 500MB cached and 100MB used ram. When waking up from hibernation I end up without that cache? Isn't that an unnatural behaviour of a hibernation?

I have 838860800 in /sys/power/image_size, so that must be enough.

Cheers.

I recall there being an option for that? I for one don't want my cache in the hibernation image, it would slow down the hibernation process AND the resume process something terrible.

There's no option for that in man pages or pm-hibernate --help.
Can't google up anything either...
Any ideas? Writing cache to image would be cool. That's (imo) the spirit of hibernation. System at 100% same state like before powering off.

Try tuxonice! Its default behaviour is to save the cache on hibernating, and it is very fast

archman-cro · 2010-05-04 07:06:27

I will look into Tuxonice again, thanks! Although I had an impression that it required a kernel to be patched, but maybe I've missed something. I want to go with my default configuration as long as it's possible.

Thanks for the recommendation!

tuxonice is a kernel patch - there are various builds for it in the AUR.

archman-cro · 2010-05-04 15:02:00

Means I have to repatch each new kernel when it gets updated? Do I update a "normal" kernel or kernel26-ice when an update is out?

tomk · 2010-05-04 21:32:09

kernel26-ice.

archman-cro · 2010-05-04 22:01:53

Ok, thanks, guys! I will mark this as solved, but if anyone knows of some tricks "under the hood" with pm-hibernate, feel free to post here!

Cheers.

archman-cro · 2010-05-13 12:21:41

Ok, I'm here to report that I'm running a kernel26-ice with great success. It works flawlessly, with lzo compression, it's fast and reliable. And I mean faaast return from hibernation - AND caching is here. Awesome. Marked as "solved" now.

Thanks, devs!

tomk · 2010-05-13 19:25:43

Just fyi - the Arch devs are not responsible for kernel26-ice. It's an aur package.

ngoonee · 2010-05-13 23:16:36

Yes, kernel26-ice is maintained by iceman81, and a few others help him out with updates.

I am still struggling to get an internet connection at my new place. I will be back next week hopefully.

Enjoy the kernel :-)

I wrote "devs", not "Arch devs" . I knew Arch devs didn't do the kernel patch. All is said in the AUR description.
So, thanks to iceman81 for packaging and devs for programming it.*

*as told by Ngoonee

I failed.
Cheers.

If you're referring to iceman81, he's not the dev for tuxonice either, just the packager for Arch Linux.... And the real developers of the software won't ever read these forums I'd think.
