Jeva Hose Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 I have a considerable amount of ram on my Thinkpad T60p, so I would like remove permenantly the sleepimage file located in /private/var/vm, because this machine cannot go to sleep. Suggestions or ideas? Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/58851-permenantly-removing-privatevarvmsleepimage/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeva Hose Posted January 28, 2008 Author Share Posted January 28, 2008 I solved this problem by first checking my hibernation settings by issuing a 'pmset -g': Active Profiles: Battery Power -1 AC Power -1* Currently in use: sleep 0 displaysleep 0 autorestart 0 hibernatefile /var/vm/sleepimage hibernatemode 3 powerbutton 0 lidwake 1 ttyskeepawake 1 disksleep 10 So then I changed my hibernation settings to zero by issuing this command and then removing the file: sudo pmset hibernatemode 0 sudo rm /var/vm/sleepimage A reboot later and I had 3 gigs of disk space back, weee!
