No, I don't think it should be done then. If a filesystem is still in use,
then doing a freeze there would likely make any processes still using it
unkillable. And doing a freeze followed by a thaw doesn't gain us much, we'd
still need to do another freeze at the end of shutdown-initramfs.
Hmm? Are you saing that on XFS you might even see corruption on files
that weren't accessed for write since the last freeze if you forget to
freeze when shutting down?
No, I'm not saying that at all.
I mean, unless the initrd hooks modify the boot loader having done
FIFREEZE once sounds safe enough, no?
Mantas Mikulėnas suggested doing a freeze on the pivot back to the
shutdown-initramfs. But that's no good: any argv[0][0] == '@' processes
could be writing to the filesystems then.
This is why I've been stressing that the filesystem freezes (and thaws
too, if necessary) should only happen right before the reboot(2) syscall._______________________________________________
