Hello!

PLEASE, always CC ME, as I'm not a member of your list(s).

Originally I encountered the following problem when using 
TuxOnIce hibernate while having a TrueCrypt file mounted as a 
partition: After initiating the hibernation, the called text 
interface of TuxOnIce stops in the beginning: "Preparing image. 
Try 1" and the process hung there completely (displayed progress 
bar is showing nothing of a progress and the session is then LOST!).

By coincidence I've now tried new ideas to track this down with 
the following results:
- file size of the TrueCrypt volume doesn't matter
- without TuxOnIce 3.14.10 and with in-kernel hibernate instead 
everything works o.k
- filesystem of mounted image doesn't matter (NTFS, FAT32 & ext4 
tested)

Then I tested loop mounting itself:
- underlying file system == ext4 of a loop mounted NTFS 
file(system) works o.k.
- underlying file system == NTFS of a loop mounted file(system) 
no matter
   of the loop's file system DOES NOT WORK: hibernation hangs!

So, I can't use TuxOnIce hibernate if there is some file mounted 
from a ntfs-3g mounted base partition?!

As I've already written to Nigel's email address (maintainer of 
TuxOnIce) and never got an answer, I'm now cross-posting this 
issue to the related mailing lists & copy-post this text to the 
TUXERA forum in the hope that there may evolve some 
collaboration...!?

I'm currently using 3.15.8 + CK1 + BFQ.
