I've never heard of thawing. The systemctl man page says nothing about the "(thawing)", and google finds nothing about it either. Before debugging this further I'd like to know the following. Is the system where you observe unexpected (thawing) state running with cgroupv2 enabled? What does your kernel command line look like? I started to investigate what is going on and found out that we have a bug in recently added freezer support when running on cgroup v1. I've already sent upstream PR to fix the issue. Issue is mostly cosmetic, howeve, "FreezerState" property is visible in systemctl output when it is not set to default value. Due to this bug, restart or reload actions will set it to "thawing". That may cause unnecessary confusion for users and hence potentially increase case volume. We should fix the issue in 0day update. *** Bug 1882225 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Michal, could you please provide a build with the fix so that we can verify it in our environment? (In reply to Gustavo Luiz Duarte from comment #19) > Michal, could you please provide a build with the fix so that we can verify > it in our environment? Here are test rpms (btw, this is a systemd build that will be released as 8.3 0day update). https://msekleta.fedorapeople.org/freezer-thawing-fix/ Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
