I have been looking into a problem with my Macbook Pro for quite a while now – despite setting the preferred sleep mode with sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1<\/em>, the laptop refuses to go into hibernate mode. It doesn’t even go into hibernate mode when the battery runs down sufficiently that it should do.<\/p>\n

This leads to a couple of problems :-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. On occasions, the battery runs down enough to loose all power meaning my laptop switches off, and all running programs are terminated.<\/li>\n
  2. Also the laptop sometimes comes out of sleep mode in my backpack getting very hot in the process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    According to a comment on a blog posting, there may be an issue with Firefox preventing hibernation from working – why that should be, I haven’t the faintest idea. Despite seeming a touch unlikely, I gave it a go – quitting Firefox and then putting the laptop to sleep.<\/p>\n

    And it hibernates!<\/p>\n

    However it turns out that stopping Firefox doesn’t prevent my main machine from hibernating. After a long hunt and several experiments, it turns out that OSX will simply not hibernate to a disk that isn’t in the slot where the hard disk is. Or in other words, you cannot hibernate when your boot disk in an SSD in the ExpressCard slot.<\/p>\n

    Which strikes me as a bit … weird. I guess the fix for this would be a proper SSD in the hard disk slot and to move the hard disk elsewhere.<\/p>\n

    After having invested in an SSD and spent far too long forcing my tired old eyes to operate in my MBP, I can confirm that hibernation does work with any kind of disk in the right slot for the hard disk. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
