Perhaps XFS and xfs_freeze should be fixed then to not return until the writing is complete (or the system has "settled down")? Perhaps these patches would help: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=306966 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=239111
At the very least, the installer should tell me that grub could fail to install on XFS partition. AFAIK the debian installer warns about the issue but the ubuntu desktop install doesn't. -- grub xfs_freeze horribly broken https://launchpad.net/bugs/31719 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
