These might be of help:

Hibernation (suspend-to-disk) The hibernation feature (suspend-to-disk)
writes out the contents of RAM to the swap partition before turning off
the machine. Therefore, your swap partition should be at least as big as
your RAM size. The hibernation implementation currently used in Ubuntu,
swsusp, needs a swap or suspend partition. It cannot use a swap file on
an active file system.
