Pavel Q: What is 'suspend2'? A: suspend2 is 'Software Suspend 2', forked implementation of suspend-to-disk which is available as separate patches for 2.4 and 2.6 kernels from swsusp.sourceforge.net. It includes support for SMP, 4GB highmem and preemption. It also has a extensible architecture that allows for arbitrary transformations on the image (compression, encryption) and arbitrary backends for writing the image (eg to swap or an NFS share[Work In Progress]). Questions regarding suspend2 should be sent to the mailing list available through the suspend2 website, and not to the Linux Kernel Mailing List. We are working toward merging suspend2 into the mainline kernel. -- When do you have heart between your knees?
