Seeing that the postinstall phase actually does play with fs freezing I think the problem is somewhere there. What is actually the reason for (xfs_freeze -f /; xfs_freeze -f /boot) > /dev/null 2>&1 (xfs_freeze -u /; xfs_freeze -u /boot) > /dev/null 2>&1 in the postinstall? Does the problem go away if you remove these calls? My guess would be that we froze the root filesystem (xfs_freeze -f /) and then the execution of the shell (braces in the next line) tried to open something with O_CREAT (or O_TRUNC, O_WRONLY, ...) which blocks on frozen filesystem. Freezing / from a loosely controlled environment as is a shell is often problematic... Anyway, first I'd like to understand why the freezing is needed and whether removing it solves the problem. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
