Hi!
Just to add my 2 cents as a user of TOI. Every distro and release I've tried has one major issue with kernel hibernation. Upon resume when hibernating large images, there's a residual footprint in swap. Every further hibernation creates a larger footprint, to the order of an additional 5-7% each time. Nobody has ever cared in any forum to explain why or how I might change that.To summarise disadvantages:To summarise advatages - for me tuxonice is the only hibernation method that works.
- only core has 8000 LoC
- it does stuff that can be easily done in userspace
(and that todays distros _do_ in userspace).
- it duplicates uswsusp functionality.
- compared to [u]swsusp, it received little testing
(Till now I've had 3 machines - no one of them able to resume with in-kernel swsusp.)
Maybe you should explain why it is a 'major issue'?
(Use swapoff -a; swapon -a to 'cure' it).
