OS X does not hibernate by default. It only does sleep, i.e. suspend.
"Deep sleep" (as Apple calls it) is an optional setting which can only
be enabled on some models - nothing I own, sadly.


And I don't know what they're doing to support it under the covers.
They may well use a separate hibernation file, as Windows does.

Agreed. But now I know the restrictions, it is more clear to me why
Ubuntu does not enable this by default.
