HI, thought I would share this weird titbit. In a dup just prior to version 20230929 I noticed that when I cold booted by PC the boot sequence would hang indefinitely. I had to Ctrl+Alt+Del to kill the process and the PC would now ‘warm’ boot (I guess you could call it that). Now the PC would boot normally. Unfortunately there were no journal entries at all for the cold boot attempt. All I could do was take a photo of the screen as seen below.
/dev/sda4 is my swap partition.
This would always happen - cold boot hang, Ctrl+Alt+Del restart, warm boot ok.
After doing a dup to 20230929 this issue disappeared.
Weird.

The WDS120G2G0A-00JH30 is a cheap drive. They have some reading: SSD Endurance and Wear Information
@kitman So are you using UUID’s for disks (I suspect not)… Can you post the output from cat /proc/cmdline is there a resume entry there for sda4. If you run cat /etc/fstab are the disk references in sdX or UUID format?
Have a read of this thread https://forums.opensuse.org/t/problem-with-disks-order-after-snapshot-20230921

@kitman ,
Now this is on OpenChat, but it seems that it turns into a technical help thread. Shouldn’t this be in Install/Boot/Login?

Reading that thread referenced.
@kitman so fire up YaST2 bootloader, in the kernel options change the resume to resume=UUID=0aba2917-93b8-4435-afe1-6ccdf433c6f3 to match swap…

Will set that now and see what happens at ‘cold boots’ tomorrow.

It is moved.
Please next time first try to decide if you have a technical problem/question, or if you just want to go for some small talk.

I’ve had 100% bad experiences with WD Green drive lifetimes. All but one were acquired as OEM drives in Funai HD video recorders, either 320M or 500M size. Before I knew Green was bad on account of a second failure, and subsequent www confirmation, I replaced one with a retail WD Green. All acquired too many bad sectors to continue using. IIRC, none lasted much more than several weeks or less beyond the end of the warranty period for Green drives of the applicable generation.

Can’t see my stuff in that url.
Anyway bottom line is that after a week of cold boots using the UUIDs in /etc/fstabeverything is fine now.
Story ends
