Bug Description

Swsusp doesn't work with LVM on breezy, and this is apparently a known issue. It
used to work though (I've been tracking breezy), at least on my Thinkpad T23.
Now it shuts down nicely, but on resume the suspended-data is recognized but not
used and the swap is reinitialized. I'll try to dig out the exact message..

Is your swap on an LVM volume? Please send /etc/fstab

Jeff, Alastair Kergon says vgdisplay should let us determine whether a drive is

I now tried booting the hibernated machine with "break" on the kernel command line.

I followed the /scripts/local-premount/suspend -script, and the $major cannot be
set, because it claims that /dev/mapper/divari-swap does not exist... (which is
true in this case)

so, obviously something is not right ;) All modules are not loaded or something..

You mean to just run vgchange -ay instead of the root one?

ok, so my setup is a bit different because it has root on a normal partition and
the rest on LVM, so the current system does not support this because only the VG
that where root lies is initialized. This apparently will be fixed after breezy.

with my setup on edgy hibernation doesn't work at all, since it can't find swap and resumes right away.

Ive tested hibernate on a few machines and it works, this is an old bug and edgy isnt supported on the desktop anymore. Im marking this bug as invalid but feel free to report a new bug if its still a problem.
