Q: Can I suspend-to-disk using a swap partition under LVM? A: No. You can suspend successfully, but you'll not be able to resume. uswsusp should be able to work with LVM. See suspend.sf.net.Is that information still up to date?
I guess I can reply myself. The "No" answer probably refers to the kernel resuming itself just with the help of the command line parameters. Of course that is not possible. I did not even think about that possibility, because I have used LUKS encrypted disks longer than hibernate/resume... What I meant is echo -n "$major:$minor" > /sys/power/resume I guess that should work just fine with LVM, shouldn't it. I'll send a patch to clarify the answer in the FAQ.
