Faster boot-up time on Linux

by Clair on February 23rd, 2008

The key: hibernate.

For those with laptops, you probably see the option to hibernate a lot. The question is: Do you use it?

I didn’t use hibernate before because it was problematic on the laptop I had before. But now, the laptop I have and the Linux distro I am using seem to be compatible and so I put my laptop in hibernate mode when I go home from the office, etc. It already saves me boot-up time as it is (especially since there’s an fsck done every 30 times that the drive is mounted and unmounted). Thanks to Rom of HackItLinux, I read an article that shows how hibernate gives a faster boot-up time.

This requires some kernel tweaks which I am personally not very comfortable with. I’d have to ask a more experienced Linux user to help me out. I will blog about it when I am done. :) Hopefully I will get it right or else.
