I’ve never had an issue once its set up. Just a 16GB LUKS partition alongside my normal LUKS partition, a small edit to /etc/crontab
so I only have to enter the password once, set the RESUME
variable, add to fstab, and rebuild init. This method even works with suspend-then-hibernate on every laptop I’ve used it with.
This would take 5 seconds at install time, but instead you have to install, reboot to the live USB, shrink LV, shrink PV, shrink LUKS, shrink partition, repartition, grow LUKS, grow PV, grow LV, and finally set up the swap partition as above.
Am I the only one? Does anyone else use encrypted drives and hibernate?
Full hibernate? Hybrid with power might work, but if the battery dies the default way doesn’t work.
