System boots as usual, but during kernel boot it finds a hibernation in swap area and just restores it.I understand how suspend works. My question is regarding the steps _before_ finding the hibernation image. My guess is there are situations where detecting/activating a bcache device before restoring the hibernation image can lead to disaster. So either this is not the case (I would like an explanation why), or I need a way to make sure udev does not register bcache before resuming.
Are you sure that user space runs before the resume image is loaded? I know that initrd could do that but as far as I see, if you supply the resume option to the kernel cmdline, the kernel will take care of resuming before initrd userspace does it - which should pretty well circumvent your problem. BTW: I'm using the resume= option and had no problem with hibernation. It seems to work fine. -- Replies to list only preferred.
