I pulled fsfreeze from current HEAD of util-linux (git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/utils/util-linux/util-linux.git 260d3cf7f30c) and put that into util-linux. Then built, and tried running it.

First, I did:
$ sudo fsfreeze --freeze / ; sudo fsfreeze --unfreeze /
I hoped that the second would get run after the first, and even if i lost keyboard input or something I'd still unfreeze.

Instead, the system completely froze.
Then, after rebooting, I tried:
$ mount /dev/sda8 /mnt
$ sudo fsfreeze /mnt

The same thing happened.

So, I'm all for getting 'fsfreeze' and its function into Ubuntu (and ideally natty), but it seems like it isn't as trivial as just grabbing 2 files.
