Enabling Hibernation in Arch Linux (using swap partition, hibernation to disk)

Find swap UUID

sudo lsblk -o FSTYPE,UUID | awk '/swap/ {print $2}'

Edit /etc/default/grub and generate grub config

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT='quiet resume=UUID=YourSwapPartitionUUID'

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

Edit /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and generate initramfs

Add resume AFTER udev.

HOOKS=(base udev resume ...)

mkinitcpio -p linux

Hibernate

systemctl hibernate

Other useful commands

cat /etc/fstab | grep swap

sudo blkid | awk '/swap/ {print $2}'

swapon
