Compiling without preempt and no highmem support and using the echo 'shutdown' > /sys/power/disk I managed to do some suspend/resume cycles. Some impressions: The status display is very ugly. It prints cryptic items and lots of random .... and | that don't mean much to me. ;) It would be nice if it could just give a % age complete or a spinning cursor to indicate its doing something. It's a good deal slower than software suspend2. Is there any plans to add in the LZO compression that software suspend2 uses? With software suspend 2 I usually can do an entire suspend/resume cycle in about 30 seconds. Thats from prompt to prompt. With swsup1/pmdisk (should I just call it swsusp1 now?) It looks like it takes about 2.5 minutes to do a cycle from prompt to prompt. On resume there is a inital part where the display just sits there. I wasn't sure if it was hung or not, but it was just calculating. It would be nice if it could provide a 'this might take a while' or a spinning cursor or status bar to let you know it's not dead. There aren't any bootup messages to indicate that it's available. Would it be possible to add something like: swsusp1: will use /dev/hda2 to resume. swsusp1: /dev/hda2 is regular swap space. Continuing to boot. kevin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 iD8DBQFBCBeg3imCezTjY0ERAm5oAJ9xzR1Pd6z8xH/VlS4LU9QNKLy7fgCfY7SR 27v7FeEaFch662gB73jEZuk= =E4nz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
