Disable Safe Sleep (pseudo hiberbate), especially useful if ram is misreported - sleepimage is created the same size as reported ram.

To check how much space you are losing, open terminal and:

Code:

ls -l /var/vm/sleepimage

To disable:

Code:

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0
sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage

reboot

to enable again:

Code:

sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 1

reboot

Cool tip. Are you familiar if you can disable the other types of sleeps and only use hibernate?

I'm not convinced it was even working on my system, rather just creating the large sleepimage

here is a good article:

Im more interested in IF its possible to have safe sleep on intel hackintoshes...

Also would love to know what all the numerical switches are
i.e 0 > off, 1 = on, etc

I tried pmset with 3 as I read in a tutorial and it seemed to work in so much as it powered the machine off, but when power was applied the machine did wake up but just had a little 640x480 blue window which appeared to be in 8 bit.

So close yet so far hehe

Intersting thread though; I know someone who was urgently trying to find some extra space on his pb; im sure this will assist!

thanks for this! really helpful.. my computer cant get off sleep mode..

BUT, this hack plus apple's aluminium keyboard = WORKING SLEEP!!!!!! Bring on the dancing girls and kill the fatted calf.

Oh, FYI: ASUS P5LD2 SE, E4300, 7900GT. 10.4.10 from jas .8 and apple's .10 combo update. Darwin Kernel Version 8.10.1: Wed May 23 16:33:00 PDT 2007; Sochi2014:VoteForUs/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386, SMBIOS 1.0.1, Copyright Hackint0sh.org team. 2007
