Something I realised this Friday, certain FS types  do not play well with
hibernate. The swap size matters too. It has to be an exact, bit by bit of
your total RAM or slightly above. Linux/UNIX do not complain if the swap
size is larger than RAM. Windows will scream if your increase swap space to
3 times more than the RAM it has. Slightly larger swap than your RAM is
good, incase there is some swapped data when you attempt a hibernate.

Of course, you might discount this possibility, but remember that one in
a million chances happen 99% of the time.
