</div>It's almost certainly an XFS change that triggered it, but it<br>
indicates (once again) that the hibernate code is simply not<br>
quiescing filesystems properly (i.e. by freezing them). The work<br>
that caused this problem is stopped by the filesystem when it<br>
is frozen, and started again when it is thawed...<br>
