Bug#239111: Patch partially works

[Marcin Owsiany]

I have just tried David's patch
(http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/xfs_freeze.diff?bug=239111;msg=179;att=1)
on a system with XFS root (no /boot, I was replacing LILO).

When I tried it on a running system, in a gnome-terminal, it hung at
"Trying to sync filesystem, do not interrupt until complete." stage, and
never got to the "Trying to sync filesystem is complete." moment. I
waited a few minutes, the system has gone completly unresponsive.

After reboot, I tried the same in single user mode, and it succeeded.

This was with kernel 2.6.15-1-686
