Regular users will use powersaved, acpid or HAL to suspend via some nice graphical frontend or a button press, not become root and type "s2disk". It is a PITA since i have to (for example), in order to port the "retry suspend with smaller image if we were 'out of swap' in the first round" or the "if there is only 300mb swap free, it does not make sense to request a 350mb image, so in this case only request 270mb" features from in-kernel to uswsusp, write the config file dynamically with my calculated "best" image size. Also, i taught my users to use "resume=" kernel parameter and they took a long time to learn this, so i will use "resume=" in the future, and since i cannot give it on the command line (only for resume, not for s2disk), i will need to write the config file dynamically with this info. This also makes the update case easier. (the latest SUSE mkinitrd is already just using resume= for resuming and not adding the config file to the initrd at all) Oops. I just checked the code. Apparently i can give s2disk the device also on the command line. But anyway, still applies at least for the image size. -- Stefan Seyfried QA / R&D Team Mobile Devices | "Any ideas, John?"
