Note that you shouldn't use fsfreeze on a filesystem where there is lots of IO - notably, rootfs (/).
If you do so, all programs write-accessing it will be "frozen" as well, which could explain your system freeze. Try doing it on a filesystem which is not the main one, like /boot, or similar (i.e. /var/lib/mysql, if it's a separate partition). If "sudo fsfreeze --freeze / ; sudo fsfreeze --unfreeze /" is expected to freeze the system hard is a different question - perhaps someone should ask on a linux-fsdevel or similar mailing list. http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-fsdevel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/712689 Title: Get fsfreeze in Ubuntu -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
