Re:Why are there no true cross-platform filesystems? by inquist on Sunday February 24, 2013 @03:57PM (#5275879)
Yeah this bit me recently, as I was hibernating my linux system but sometimes booting into Win7. Ended up having to reformat linux partitions, some inode information got messed up. e2fsck found and 'corrected' some errors which really didn't help at all. Lesson learned, as long as I'm dual booting, will stick with s2ram!

You can suspend-to-disk just fine, as long as you remember to always boot back into the OS you suspended from. I guess suspend-to-ram forces you to do that (and my preferred option anyway), but I just wanted to make sure it was clear that there's nothing unsafe about suspend-to-disk as long as you don't let another OS get its grubby fingers on your mounted disk.
