Suspend-To-Disk / Hibernate hypothetical question

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



My understanding is that hibernation is achieved by copying the contents of (used?) RAM to the system swap disk partition.

Hypothetical question: What if the total memory (physical + swap) in use exceeds the size of the swap space? How can hibernation then occur?

Thanks for any insights. (Also thanks to the developers for this functionality!)
