Hi!

Could you expand some more on why a strict exclusion is really necessary? I do understand that one might not want to have swap storage available all the time but considering that swapon is really a light operation so something like the following should be a reasonable workaround, no? swapon storage/file s2disk swapoff storageI'm certainly not a hibernation expert, but I'd guess this can also be triggered by HW events, so from the kernel and not only from user space where your workaround would apply.
I should know about hibernation, and I'm not aware of any case where we do hibernation from kernel. Userspace should be always involved. Best regards, Pavel -- http://www.livejournal.com/~pavelmachek
