Disable smart sleep - sleepimage reappears

[MacUse-R]

I have disabled smartsleep (hibernation 0 ) on my MacBook Pro 2011 with High Sierra.

But when i delete the sleepimage and restart the macBook Pro the sleepimage reappears.

Also i think that the smartsleep is still active, when i check hibernation status in Terminal it says "hibernation 0", i.e. the smartsleep hibernation should be disabled.


Anybody has an idea what is going on? Have i forgot some steps?

According to this page, you must set hibernatemode, standby, and autopoweroff to zero to prevent a sleepimage from being created.

Four-step sequence to disable hibernation mode and get sleep image under control:
(Note: this works with sleepimage files in Low Sierra and "lower". You'll have to try it to see if it works in High Sierra)

First, disable hibernation mode :
sudo pmset -a hibernatemode 0

Next, delete the existing sleep image file:
sudo rm /private/var/vm/sleepimage

Now, create an empty file and name it 'sleepimage' :
sudo touch /private/var/vm/sleepimage

Finally, change its flag to immuable :
sudo chflags uchg /private/var/vm/sleepimage

Now, OS X won't be able to rebuilt over your sleepimage file since it is locked.

It will not, I tried it on mine already. I found success with just setting the pmset variables to 0 as suggested by @chabig

I did these four steps and restarted the MacBook Pro and the sleepimage is still 0 Bytes, so as long as it doesn't write a sleep image to my SSD I'm happy. So thanks.
My goal is actually not to have the smart sleep mode disabled but to stop major writes made by the smart sleep mode to the SSD.

I haven't still read the link posted by chabig, but that seems to involve some other steps?

This is the info I get from pmset -g
Does it look as I have the correct things disabled? There are some things I don't even understand what they are, for example "sms", womp, ttyskeepawake, acwake?
