Might be. But something is fishy here. I had it a second time today. This time I know for sure that the machine freezed hard. Mouse pointer froze and the machine didn't even respond to a ping anymore. Nothing in logs - doesn't surprise me. I didn't have this issue with 2.6.26, and I also don't think I had it with 2.6.27.5. I will downgrade to 2.6.27.5 now. > > > I've never had a system that suspends reliably (let alone resumes > > > from the suspend) so it's no real surprise that I don't trust > > > suspend to disk.... > > > > Well I take it as bad luck then, especially since there are no hints > > that XFS had a problem.

TuxOnIce works stable for me - at least it did so for a long long while, until my recent kernel.
