Something's very fishy there:

[quote]
Digging into suspend-utils code shows that the following ioctl fails on
"/dev/snapshot":

Code:
ioctl(dev, _IO(3, 1), 0);
[end quote]

but that's _not_ anything freeze-related - that's HDIO_GETGEO, and with zero
as last argument it will fail, no matter what. With EFAULT, if nothing
else...

Which ioctl() it really is? A bit further down you write "I modified suspend
code to see errno, so freeze on /dev/snapshot fails [with EAGAIN]", so you
have isolated the call in question. Could you quote the actual code?
