Whenever a system is hibernated or suspended, the swap area which contains the suspend information has a signature S1SUSPEND[0x00] instead of the usual SWAPSPACE2, which occupies the last 10 bytes of the first page of the swap area. If it is a 'old-style' swap then the original signature is SWAP_SPACE.
From `man mkswap`:
"Linux knows about two styles of swap areas, old style and new style. The last 10 bytes of the first page of the swap area distinguishes them: old style has 'SWAP_SPACE', new style has 'SWAPSPACE2' as signature." We are investigating this further...
