So, recently, I bought an nvme ssd to replace the very old ssd I have on my laptop. I don’t know what the non-nvme is called. It shows as “sda” on the system. Anyway, doubled the storage. The new drive is an nvme WD black SN770. I have the same one running just fine on an optiplex dell mini running endeavourOS. Zero issues. I like to separate home and root partitions and have btrfs on root for snapshots. So, thinking it would behave the same on the laptop, I put the new drive in the laptop and did the same partitioning. Installed Fedora this time, since I like gnome on the laptop and plasma on desktop. Everything went fine. Laptop was responsive and all until I was done and closed the lid. Came back a while later to use it again, black screen and nothing revives it. No key combo or anything works except holding down the power button to shut it off. This kept happening every single time I closed and opened the lid after a while. Thought it might be the distro/DE. Removed fedora and slapped endeavourOS with plasma on it. Same shit happens now. Black screen every time I open the lid after a suspend. So, I decided fuck it, let me juse use ext4 since it happens on every distro. Removed btrfs and used ext4 on all partions, and now this issue never happens. Not even once. Is this a known issue with btrfs and nvmes? Do they not like each other? Just wanted to share this little dilemma I had to deal with the last couple of days.

Can confirm that btrfs on nvme with sleep/suspend has been working fine for me on my Framework laptop (haven’t tested hibernate, though).

I think it starts acting up when there is nvidia in the mix. I don’t think framework has nvidia, does it?

I’m surprised this works at all check out Suspend and Suspend on Nvidia

It has been working flawlessly on my desktop. That one has all Intel, though. Also, now on ext4, I have zero issues and this laptop has Nvidia. So crazy.

Do you have a swapfile >8 Gb ? that might be it.

If not, BTRFS and resume kernel parameter tend to not work well. You might want a non btrfs swapfile. You can create a separate partition or a file.

Arch and arch based distros tend not to handle hibernation without tweaks.

I created a 16 GB swap partition and chose “swap” in the file type when partitioning

Try to disable your swap. You don’t need a 16Gb swap partition. If you really need to hibernate, try switching to a swapfile instead, but that can cause resume errors.

I’ve been using a btrfs and nvme combo for almost 2 years now without any issues like that, the main difference being that I have a relatively large swap partition and am on arch linux’ zen kernel

On a laptop? I have, too, but on a desktop. This issue only happens on the laptop

I use btrfs and nvme on a Dell XPS 13 and I’ve had no issues, so it’s not a universal problem.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
