Slow Resume with SSD

[Carlos Moffat]

Hi,

(please let me know if this is the wrong list to ask this)

I have a Crucial M4 512 GB SSD installed on my Thinkpad X220 (Ubuntu 
Precise). Overall this runs very nicely, but it takes 10+ seconds to 
resume from suspend, apparently because some issue with the hardrive. 
The only message I see while resuming is "COMRESET failed (errno=-16)".

The only relevant post I've found was in the crucial support site:

http://forums.crucial.com/t5/Solid-State-Drives-SSD/SOLVED-M4-CT512M4SSD1-7mm-512Gb-SSD-too-slow-when-laptop-wakes/td-p/102666

which suggested adding libata.force=nohrst as a boot option to get rid 
of the problem.

I tried that, but the laptop wouldn't suspend.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Carlos
