Hello,

there is known problem with locking container with replication or backups for containers with fuse mounted inside.
The problem is replication and backup calls freeze to container that interfere with fuse and deadlock occurs.

The solution might be an option for disabling calling freeze (existing FUSE option for container can be used or the new one)

I use ZFS storage where snapshots are atomic, so for that case freeze container doesn't help a lot. Did I miss something?

In Proxmox v6 I disabled freezing for replication and nothing bad happened.

In file: /usr/share/perl5/PVE/LXC.pm
#PVE::LXC::Command::freeze($vmid, 30);

What do you think about solution?
