Hibernate stopped working properly after accidental swap formatting

shadogamon · 06-05-2011, 08:32 PM

I often install distros for the purpose of learning, and managed to format my swap partition. After returning to my main os (Mint 11 katya) and editing the fstab , the swap seemed to be working properly. When I attempt to hibernate however, it seems that nothing is saved to the swap, and the process simply shuts of the laptop. Any ideas?

Run fdisk -l and swapon -s as root and let us know their output.

I don't use UUID for precisely this reason. Depending on what suspend software you use, check the config (say /etc/uswsusp.conf).
Initram as well I guess with Mint.

fdisk -l

Code:

/dev/sda1               1           5       40131   de  Dell Utility
/dev/sda2   *           6        9296    74629160    7  HPFS/NTFS

swapon -s

Code:

Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority
/dev/sda7                               partition	3132636	21500	-1

as far as I know I'm using the default, which I thought was PM-utils
