A reboot solves the problem. FWIW, we've been seeing a number of hard to diagnose failures with suspend to disk for the last few releases in Fedora. Eric Sandeen has been chasing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744275 for a while, but there's no smoking gun that really explains what's getting into these states. Further complicating things, is that it doesn't seem to be 100% reproducable. Dave
