I’m not sure I understand.
I’ll try to explain what happens with hibernation/suspend.
Hibernating a machine is a relatively dangerous situation. The status of
the machine, that is, the contents of its RAM and CPU registers, is
swapped to hard disk. All applications with opened and unsaved files,
remain open and the files unsaved - you must understand this, because
that is the dangerous part -. All mounted filesystems remain mounted,
ie, dirty - and that is the other dangerous part.
If restore from hibernation fails, the machine has to be recovered the
same as if a sudden power failure happened. You (ie, the system) has to
do an fsck of all partitions that were mounted, and unsaved data from
open applications is lost. Temporary files remain, and some
applications can later refuse to start again unless you clear out
manually some temporary files. Files can be corrupted, specially because
a file could be in the middle of a write operation when hibernated.
If after you hibernate a machine, on boot, you choose a different
operating system (any one, Windows, another Linux, bsd, Android,
whatever) that happens to try to open a partition that was already
opened by the previous system, in hibernated state, the corruption this
causes in it can be humongous.
Notice that I use hibernation several times a day.
