hibernate].help me how to do it.some more questions
are,when should place the content of file into RAM

It's a nice idea, but it probably won't work, because you won't be able to re-initialize the state of your I/O devices like this. That's why hibernate depends on the device drivers to shut down and restore each I/O device, but only the driver knows how to do that.
