> I'm curious: Would hibernation work correctly if the VM were paused first?
I don't see how it would help. And I am not even sure what would you hibernate (HVM, PV, whole computer) > Of course, in the current Qubes kernel configuration, Hibernation support > isn't even enabled in the kernel For hibernating the whole laptop, it is AFAIK not supported by Xen, so missing dom0 kernel support is not the main issue. For hibernating standalone HVMs, you will likely use a different kernel than the one provided with Qubes. Note that you need the VM to be running for hibernation. For hibernating standalone PVs, this might be an issue (likely with an easy solution). With a proper kernel, hibernation might work (provided you have swap on a correct partition – if not, you will not be able to resume ☺), but there might be some other issues. The one potential issue I see: With PVs, restore is a bit complicated due to memory management: The VM AFAIK sees whole memory space without address translation, but it is constrained what it can access. When restoring, it will usually need to remap all the addresses. This must be implemented (and utilized in DVMs), but I am not sure if this is implemented for hibernation or not. But if you cannot make it working easily, don't bother too much: The PV technology is going to be history* since Qubes 4. For hibernating template-based VMs, we have some worse issues, as noted above. Regards, Vít Šesták 'v6ak' *) Well, even in Qubes 4, it will be used for stubdoms, but I don't think it matters in this case. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
