[Bug 712689] Re: Get fsfreeze in Ubuntu

[Scott Moser]

just for the record, on precise:
 $ dpkg -S /sbin/fsfreeze 
util-linux: /sbin/fsfreeze
 $ dpkg-query --show util-linux
util-linux      2.19.1-2ubuntu3


Additionally, on an EC2 t1.micro instance of 'ami-410bc128' (us-east-1/ebs/ubuntu-precise-daily-amd64-server-20111212'), I just did:
$ sudo sh -c 'date; fsfreeze --freeze /; fsfreeze --unfreeze /; date'
Mon Dec 12 22:15:23 UTC 2011
Mon Dec 12 22:15:23 UTC 2011
ubuntu at ip-10-202-206-73:~$ uname -r
3.2.0-4-virtual
ubuntu at ip-10-202-206-73:~$ cat /proc/version_signature 
Ubuntu 3.2.0-4.10-virtual 3.2.0-rc5


Then, just for fun
$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo sh -c 'apt-get update > /tmp/apt.log & sleep 2 ; date; fsfreeze --freeze /; fsfreeze --unfreeze /; date'
Mon Dec 12 22:19:27 UTC 2011
Mon Dec 12 22:19:27 UTC 2011

I redirected to /tmp/apt.log to show additional fs writes going on, and
also to make output prettier. (otherwise the 'date' output is mixed with
the apt output).

So, to me, this is fix-released.

  Please get the "fsfreeze" tool in Ubuntu. Current util-linux package

  fsfreeze is a tool to suspend access to a filesystem (Linux Ext3/4, ReiserFS, JFS, XFS) using Linux's standard API for freezing mountpoints
