Sim, mas não sem algum esforço. Existem 2 maneiras diferentes de hibernar (suspender para o disco) no linux:
- swswap , que está incluído no kernel
- tuxonice (anteriormente suspend2), o que não é.
O Tuxonice está disponível como um patch para o kernel e permite gravar a imagem de suspensão em um arquivo comum.
Da Wikipedia :
TuxOnIce (formerly known as Suspend2) is an implementation of the suspend-to-disk (or hibernate) feature which is available as patches for the 2.6 Linux kernel. It was formerly known as 'swsusp'. During the 2.5 kernel era, Pavel Machek forked the original out-of-tree version of swsusp (then at approximately beta 10) and got it merged into the vanilla kernel, while development continued in the swsusp/Suspend2/TuxOnIce line. TuxOnIce includes support for SMP, highmem and preemption. Its major advantages over swsusp are:
* It has an extensible architecture that allows for arbitrary transformations on the image and arbitrary backends for writing the image;
* It prepares the image and allocates storage prior to doing any storage and accounts for memory and storage usage very carefully, thereby becoming more reliable;
* Its current modules for writing the image have been designed for speed, combining asynchronous I/O, multithreading and readahead with LZF compression in its default configuration to read and write the image as fast as hardware is able;
* It has an active community supporting it via a wiki, mailing lists and irc channel (see the TuxOnIce website);
* It is more flexible and configurable (via a /sys/power/tuxonice interface);
* Whereas the current swsusp (and uswsusp) implementations support writing the image to one swap device only, TuxOnIce supports multiple devices in any combination of swap files and swap partitions. It can also write the image to an ordinary file, thereby avoiding potential race issues in freeing memory when preparing to suspend.
* It supports encryption by various methods;
* It can store a full image of memory (resulting in a more responsive system post-resume), while uswsusp and swsusp write at most half the amount of RAM.
Como ele não está incluído no kernel padrão, você infelizmente precisará pegar os patches do kernel disponíveis para o Jaunty e compilar o kernel você mesmo.
Há algumas instruções estendidas aqui , mas você pode tentar a sugestão de Robert antes de vagar por esse caminho, a menos que seja um veterano em rolar suas próprias imagens de kernel.
