- [....] No, that's the userspace ioctl interface to enable freezing from something other than dm-snapshot. The filesystems that is aimed at already support freezing via freeze_bdev(). Cheers, Dave. --

- As I've said many times before - if the requirement is "don't do I/O" then you have to freeze the filesystem. In no way does 'sync' prevent filesystems from doing I/O..... Cheers, Dave. -- Dave Chinn
