Hi all,

Is there a method out there that can “save a hibernate state” to disk, and just permanently boot immediately into that state every time?

It would be OK to lose data used after this point. And ot would also be OK if it required building a custom image based on the hardware, similar to embedded systems.

The goal is to be able to, as quickly as possible, spin up a GPU server when needed, but without using suspend/resume.

Thanks.

    No not really.

    It’s how long it takes to read 32GB from my swap. 170 MB/s continuous read speed ≈ 188 sec (3 min 8 sec) add the normal boot time to it (bios, grub, kernel initramfs) and you get the 4 minutes.

    When the system boots cold it doesn’t have to read 32GB, just 0.5-2GB maybe.
