- Dual-boot and hibernate make a very dangerous combination. I've had some major data-loss because I modified a filesystem in Linux then hibernated, and accidentally booted into Windows. This problem isn't worth fixing unless you make sure you never mount Windows partitions in Linux. (or vice versa).wm_eddie– wm_eddie2011-09-13 06:49:22 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2011 at 6:49
- Really? I didn't know. The problem is I'm a poweruser and in fact hibernate has become so essential to me I have no way of working without it. I routinely do research and have my work open in a prolific number of windows (20-70 browser tabs for e.g.), and I cannot practically shut down without a tremendous effort to save everything and reopen each time. I have multiple work sessions a day and cannot leave my laptop on while I'm away from powerpoints, so hibernate has revolutionised the way I work. I have always dual-booted and I never had this problem until my latest linux installation...ptrcao– ptrcao2011-09-13 08:23:42 +00:00Commented Sep 13, 2011 at 8:23

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. shell-script), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
