xfs_metadump(8) xfs_metadump(8)
...
xfs_metadump should only be used to copy unmounted filesystems, read-only
mounted filesystems, or frozen filesystems (see xfs_freeze(8)). Other-
wise, the generated dump could be inconsistent or corrupt.
...
However, it doesn't work on a frozen fs. There's no way to programatically
detect a frozen fs AFAIK...
Has this ever worked? I see 3 potential solutions:
1) a --force option to proceed even if mounted
2) teach xfs_metadump to optionally freeze a mounted fs and proceed
3) fix the manpage
Thoughts?
Thanks,
-Eric
