Cache flush before suspend or hibernate

Folks,

if I´m right, FC does not flush the cache before entering suspend or hibernate. Would it be a good idea to flush the cache always during that states ?


Regards

I would second that as a safety feature... Hibernate / suspend has been known to fail once in a while and COULD create a no boot issue if the wrong files were changes and still in the cache...

FancyCache flushs deferred write data when entering hibernation since v0.3.0

Personally I think it is not necessary to flush write before entering suspend becasue the ram is still powered at that state.

Anyway I'll deliver your request to the R&D team. It shall be possible to have an option to allow flush during suspend.

PS. I remember the program always flushs write during suspend if the Hybrid Sleep is on.
