How would you like this added? swsusp2 shares this fundamental limitation, but does not include user data and disk caches into "used memory" by saving them in advance. That means that limitation goes away in practice. And perhaps you want to write "What is swsusp2?" question/answer? Pavel -- 934a471f20d6580d5aad759bf0d97ddc
