+These filesystems are rather similar. Here is a comparison with Minix FS:
+
+* Linux fdisk reports on partitions
+  - Minix FS     0x81 Linux/Minix
+  - Xenix FS     ??
+  - SystemV FS   ??
+  - Coherent FS  0x08 AIX bootable
+
+* Size of a block or zone (data allocation unit on disk)
+  - Minix FS     1024
+  - Xenix FS     1024 (also 512 ??)
+  - SystemV FS   1024 (also 512 and 2048)
+  - Coherent FS   512
+
+* General layout: all have one boot block, one super block and
+  separate areas for inodes and for directories/data.
+  On SystemV Release 2 FS (e.g. Microport) the first track is reserved and
+  all the block numbers (including the super block) are offset by one track.
+
+* Byte ordering of "short" (16 bit entities) on disk:
+  - Minix FS     little endian  0 1
+  - Xenix FS     little endian  0 1
+  - SystemV FS   little endian  0 1
+  - Coherent FS  little endian  0 1
+  Of course, this affects only the file system, not the data of files on it!
+
+* Byte ordering of "long" (32 bit entities) on disk:
+  - Minix FS     little endian  0 1 2 3
+  - Xenix FS     little endian  0 1 2 3
+  - SystemV FS   little endian  0 1 2 3
+  - Coherent FS  PDP-11         2 3 0 1
+  Of course, this affects only the file system, not the data of files on it!
+
+* Inode on disk: "short", 0 means non-existent, the root dir ino is:
+  - Minix FS                            1
+  - Xenix FS, SystemV FS, Coherent FS   2
+
+* Maximum number of hard links to a file:
+  - Minix FS     250
+  - Xenix FS     ??
+  - SystemV FS   ??
+  - Coherent FS  >=10000
+
+* Free inode management:
+  - Minix FS                             a bitmap
+  - Xenix FS, SystemV FS, Coherent FS
+      There is a cache of a certain number of free inodes in the super-block.
+      When it is exhausted, new free inodes are found using a linear search.
+
+* Free block management:
+  - Minix FS                             a bitmap
+  - Xenix FS, SystemV FS, Coherent FS
+      Free blocks are organized in a "free list". Maybe a misleading term,
+      since it is not true that every free block contains a pointer to
+      the next free block. Rather, the free blocks are organized in chunks
+      of limited size, and every now and then a free block contains pointers
+      to the free blocks pertaining to the next chunk; the first of these
+      contains pointers and so on. The list terminates with a "block number"
+      0 on Xenix FS and SystemV FS, with a block zeroed out on Coherent FS.
+
+* Super-block location:
+  - Minix FS     block 1 = bytes 1024..2047
+  - Xenix FS     block 1 = bytes 1024..2047
+  - SystemV FS   bytes 512..1023

+			How to get s2ram working
+			~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+			2006 Linus Torvalds
+			2006 Pavel Machek
+
+1) Check suspend.sf.net, program s2ram there has long whitelist of
+   "known ok" machines, along with tricks to use on each one.
+
+2) If that does not help, try reading tricks.txt and
+   video.txt. Perhaps problem is as simple as broken module, and
+   simple module unload can fix it.
+
+3) You can use Linus' TRACE_RESUME infrastructure, described below.
+
+		      Using TRACE_RESUME
+		      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+I've been working at making the machines I have able to STR, and almost
+always it's a driver that is buggy. Thank God for the suspend/resume
+debugging - the thing that Chuck tried to disable. That's often the _only_
+way to debug these things, and it's actually pretty powerful (but
+time-consuming - having to insert TRACE_RESUME() markers into the device
+driver that doesn't resume and recompile and reboot).
+
+Anyway, the way to debug this for people who are interested (have a
+machine that doesn't boot) is:
+
+ - enable PM_DEBUG, and PM_TRACE
+
+ - use a script like this:
+
+	#!/bin/sh
+	sync
+	echo 1 > /sys/power/pm_trace
+	echo mem > /sys/power/state
+
+   to suspend
+
+ - if it doesn't come back up (which is usually the problem), reboot by
+   holding the power button down, and look at the dmesg output for things
+   like
+
+	Magic number: 4:156:725
+	hash matches drivers/base/power/resume.c:28
+	hash matches device 0000:01:00.0
+
+   which means that the last trace event was just before trying to resume
+   device 0000:01:00.0. Then figure out what driver is controlling that
+   device (lspci and /sys/devices/pci* is your friend), and see if you can
+   fix it, disable it, or trace into its resume function.
+
+For example, the above happens to be the VGA device on my EVO, which I
+used to run with "radeonfb" (it's an ATI Radeon mobility). It turns out
+that "radeonfb" simply cannot resume that device - it tries to set the
+PLL's, and it just _hangs_. Using the regular VGA console and letting X
+resume it instead works fine.

+Using swap files with software suspend (swsusp)
+	(C) 2006 Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl>
+
+The Linux kernel handles swap files almost in the same way as it handles swap
+partitions and there are only two differences between these two types of swap
+areas:
+(1) swap files need not be contiguous,
+(2) the header of a swap file is not in the first block of the partition that
+holds it.  From the swsusp's point of view (1) is not a problem, because it is
+already taken care of by the swap-handling code, but (2) has to be taken into
+consideration.
+
+In principle the location of a swap file's header may be determined with the
+help of appropriate filesystem driver.  Unfortunately, however, it requires the
+filesystem holding the swap file to be mounted, and if this filesystem is
+journaled, it cannot be mounted during resume from disk.  For this reason to
+identify a swap file swsusp uses the name of the partition that holds the file
+and the offset from the beginning of the partition at which the swap file's
+header is located.  For convenience, this offset is expressed in <PAGE_SIZE>
+units.
+
+In order to use a swap file with swsusp, you need to:
+
+1) Create the swap file and make it active, eg.
+
+# dd if=/dev/zero of=<swap_file_path> bs=1024 count=<swap_file_size_in_k>
+# mkswap <swap_file_path>
+# swapon <swap_file_path>
+
+2) Use an application that will bmap the swap file with the help of the
+FIBMAP ioctl and determine the location of the file's swap header, as the
+offset, in <PAGE_SIZE> units, from the beginning of the partition which
+holds the swap file.
+
+3) Add the following parameters to the kernel command line:
+
+resume=<swap_file_partition> resume_offset=<swap_file_offset>
+
+where <swap_file_partition> is the partition on which the swap file is located
+and <swap_file_offset> is the offset of the swap header determined by the
+application in 2) (of course, this step may be carried out automatically
+by the same application that determies the swap file's header offset using the
+FIBMAP ioctl)
+
+OR
+
+Use a userland suspend application that will set the partition and offset
+with the help of the SNAPSHOT_SET_SWAP_AREA ioctl described in
+Documentation/power/userland-swsusp.txt (this is the only method to suspend
+to a swap file allowing the resume to be initiated from an initrd or initramfs
+image).
+
+Now, swsusp will use the swap file in the same way in which it would use a swap
+partition.  In particular, the swap file has to be active (ie. be present in
+/proc/swaps) so that it can be used for suspending.
+
+Note that if the swap file used for suspending is deleted and recreated,
+the location of its header need not be the same as before.  Thus every time
+this happens the value of the "resume_offset=" kernel command line parameter
+has to be updated.
