swsusp and available swap space

swsusp and available swap space

[Shawn Starr]

If say I have 980KB of memory used (of a total of 1GB
physical RAM), and rest currently in swap memory
giving me 1GB total ram used, and a swap of 1GB, when
suspending would this fail? Wouldn't the swapped
partition memory have to be moved somewhere? 

I can't be sure because I cant suspend to disk yet..
it continues to abort and I wonder if its due to the
swap size not being big enough for all ram + swapped
memory to fit on the swap partition?

If so, I need to resize it.

Shawn.

Try without highmem, and try suspending just after boot, when not that
much memory is in use. If too much memory is used after boot, boot
with init=/bin/bash, swapon and trigger swsusp.

Messages from suspend would be helpfull.
