As a part of the hibernation process the pending writes are flushed and the IO is quiesced. So if you have a dirty FS then you can be sure that it's not been used for hibernation.

Fedora reawakens the hibernation debate

I didn't know that. Thanks for pointing it out.

So, while suspend & resume is nearly transparent for the running processes, hibernate & resume heavily changes the system's internal state.

I wonder if hibernation can stall in case of big IO backlog?
