problems caused by Windows hibernation?
Should I expect a hibernation state for the Windows partition to interfere with Linux's startup? While I was trying out Fedora Core, I briefly saw some error message indicating that Windows in hibernation posed a problem. If hibernation interferes, then Linux really needs to get around that, because hibernation is too useful to give up. I could never believe that back when I was trying to install the ACPI/suspend/whatever, someone told me that I shouldn't bother and that turning it off every time was better.

Hibernation would not mess up anything in Linux(from starup to filesystem) but if you have mounted read-write your windows partition and you alter the data in that partition ,you may lose data. This is because , hibernate simply stores the memory content in the harddisk, and some files also gets cached.
Long ago, I hibernated my windows system, took out the harddisk, and copied some files to the disk. After I reinstalled the harddisk, Windows did not show any new files, and the harddisk failed soon after(bad sectors). |
Entropy can't be reversed. Just ask the Logopolitans.

Another Dr. Who fan?
If only we could have some working CVEs! Somebody said to me a long time ago(maybe my high school teacher) that only God can reverse entropy.That meant that we are eventually doomed(actually when I say we, I mean our grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-grand-etc-children). So I became interested in entropy. So I read and read and read science books and stuffs, and I read and read and read fiction and some real crap. One of those sci-fi stories caught my attention. As you may know ,there is a famous story by this guy about entropy, called The Last Question ,or rather about how computers did eventually reversed entropy. Thereby, playing as I should put it, playing God. If you have not read it ,maybe you should! Robin |
Entropy doesn't scare me, because the world will end long before the universe does.
