The mount point normally hosted a removable drive, but it had been ejected. Please have xfs_freeze return an error if the mountpoint argument does not contain a mounted file system. The documentation implies that the argument must be a mount point, but _any_ path provided as an argument will freeze the parent file system. -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.2.0-3-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages xfsprogs depends on: ii libblkid1 2.20.1-5.1 ii libc6 2.13-33 ii libreadline5 5.2-11 ii libuuid1 2.20.1-5.1 xfsprogs recommends no packages.
