The usual method of hibernating is to dump the memory into the swap
partition. I do not know what will happen if your swap partition is
smaller than your RAM, though.
Thanks for letting me know.
32 GB of RAM here, swap space is just ~16 GB: my guess is that as long
as the totally used memory (including buffers/cache) isn't bigger than
the swap partition, some hibernation image might be written
successfully ... not being sure, tho' ...
And swap space is rarely used here, IIRC ..
