<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I seem to remember asking on this list what file
systems are best for things like suspending a desktop computer multiple times,
unplugging the supply after doing so, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I still have not had this answered.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The prior answer I got to this was that the person
assumed that I did not know how to configure grub or lilo to resume, and that
information is incorrect.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had grub resuming from the correct swap
partition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Remember: to re-state my issue:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>basically I install grml automatically to my
hard-drive with an xfs file system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then, I install grub into the mbr like
this:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>grub</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>root (hd0,1)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>setup (hd0)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Then reboot into my new installation of
GRML.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>After that, I decide to do the following
:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>echo disk >/sys/power/state</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Computer hibernates.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(NoteJ:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At the present time when doing this, the power
supply still was receiving power.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, turn back on computer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Grub loads, and quickly resumes from the swap
partition.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, after about three minutes, I once again
do:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>echo disk >/sys/power/state</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Except in this test of xfs, I go and switch off the
serge-protector that goes to every single peace of computer-stuff I own, wich is
in effect the same thing as yanking out the power supply cable from the back of
the PC.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>So, after about 5 minutes, or less, I restore power
to the computers, modem, router, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Turn on the Linux grml test box.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And...to my shock,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>the box did nothing.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just sat still, did not beep at me the way it had
done previously, etc.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And, in fact</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had to perform over 8 hard-power-offs and
incorrect shut-downs of the machine before it would even reckidnize the
presentes of a grml CD-rom, (and yes,) it would not reckidnize the grml CD, or
anything.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Finally, after minutes of turning on, turning off,
turning on, turning off...and so on... I managed to reboot.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>At that point, I whiped Linux and reinstalled
Windows onto my drive from a grml clone with NTFS-Clone, untill I can resolve
this issue.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am sending a carbon coppy, in hopes that someone
can respond to this, as I do not receive digests from <A
href="mailto:grml@mur.at">grml@mur.at</A>, until the next twenty-four hours. I
consider this email of extreme importants, and my trust in xfs is gravely
shaken.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need a relyable file system taht does well when
suspended multiple times, and things. Thank you all!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regards tot he list, and merry christmas to
all,</FONT></DIV>
