Once when my machine hung, I lost a file that I had open for editing, but the container itself was fine. With a suspend, I would be inclined to unmount the container before suspending, for safety. -- ...Rob -- "If we put on a unique index we might end up with referential integrity." -- unknown in-duh-vidual ===================================================================== Robert Goshko Axis Computer Consulting Services, Inc President Sherwood Park, Alberta, Canada http://www.axis-dev.ca/ Supporting the Revolution In Your World ===================================================================== Registered Linux User #260513 GNU/Linux i686 2.4.21-0.13mdk-725ca 11:46:01 up 5:13, 4 users, load average: 1.47, 1.61, 1.65
