Hi

Is it save to suspend a thinkpad (T41) and take it with me (in a bag)? 
IOW: Are the heads lifted from the harddisc during suspend?

This is my sleep.sh:

#!/bin/bash

. /etc/default/acpi-support
. /usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs
. /usr/share/acpi-support/device-funcs
. /usr/share/acpi-support/policy-funcs

DeviceConfig;

if [ x$ACPI_SLEEP != xtrue ] && [ x$1 != xforce ]; then
   exit;
fi

# If gnome-power-manager or klaptopdaemon are running, let them handle 
policy
if [ x$1 != xforce ] && [ x$1 != xsleep ] && [ `CheckPolicy` = 0 ]; then
     exit;
fi

if [ x$LOCK_SCREEN = xtrue ]; then
     if pidof xscreensaver > /dev/null; then
         for x in /tmp/.X11-unix/*; do
             displaynum=`echo $x | sed s#/tmp/.X11-unix/X##`
             getXuser;
             if [ x"$XAUTHORITY" != x"" ]; then
                 export DISPLAY=":$displaynum"
                 . /usr/share/acpi-support/screenblank
             fi
         done
     fi
fi

# Generic preparation code
. /etc/acpi/prepare.sh

if [ x$DISABLE_DMA = xtrue ] && [ -b /dev/hda ]; then
   hdparm -d 0 /dev/hda
fi

echo -n $ACPI_SLEEP_MODE >/sys/power/state

if [ x$RESET_DRIVE = xtrue ] && [ -b /dev/hda ]; then
     hdparm -w /dev/hda
     hdparm -C /dev/hda
     hdparm -C /dev/hda
     hdparm -C /dev/hda
     hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda
fi

if [ x$DISABLE_DMA = xtrue ] && [ -b /dev/hda ]; then
   hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda
fi

# Generic wakeup code
. /etc/acpi/resume.sh
