Is it just the previously stated "XFS writes to disk > despite freezing kernel threads" issue, or something deeper? sync pushes out all data to disk, but in a journaling filesystem that might just but the log not the "normal" place on disk. For a boot loader to deal with it properly it actually needs to do an replay of the log. Grub does so for reiserfs but not for XFS for some reason. I don't know why problems don't trigger more often with ext3, though. _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
