[Qemu-discuss] fsfreeze: not smart enough about duplicate/bind mounts?

[Christian Theune]

Hi,

I just stumbled over a situation where fsfreeze wasn’t smart enough to notice 
that it tried to freeze the same filesystem twice (which ends in a “device or 
resource busy”).

Here’s how the mount looked like:

/dev/vda1 on / type xfs (rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)
/dev/vda1 on /nix/store type xfs (ro,relatime,attr2,inode64,noquota)

I see that Qemu has support for detecting bind mounts, and this _should_ be 
one, but I guess it’s really not. At least from what I can tell.

For now, I’m running without the second mount to make things work, but it would 
be really nice if the guest agent could be improved.

Cheers!
Christian
