By now, it's only used by a minority (those, who get it going reliably), but I bet, things change, when 2.6 is out. I would love and even celebrate once swsuspend is working via nbd for my diskless setups. I consider this as a real quantum leap (from a usability/energy saving point of view). The question is: why is the VM not able to fulfill such a simple need in a clean way? > regards, > > Rik Regards, Hans-Peter - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/ | ||||||||||||
