What happens if you are suspending a db server (well, > suspending a server is IMHO a really stupid thing, but...) and after Why? You bought new UPS for your server. How do you install it without bringing machine down? Suspend to disk, rearrange power cables, resume. You have your server on UPS. Power died, and UPS is indicating 30 seconds to failure. What do you do? Suspend to disk. Ethernet card in your server died. You want to replace it. Your server is not hotplug capable. What do you do? Suspend to disk, replace ethernet card, resume. If you are fast your users will not even see broken connections.
