Something in > util-linux? dm-utils? Are patches to those packages planned? Currently the only surspace using freeze and thaw is xfs_freeze from xfsprogs, which would work for various other filesystems that implement ->write_super_lockfs now instead of just XFS with patch 1. The freeze stuff in this third patch isn't and won't be used by xfs_freeze and doesn't make all that much sense (and we already had a lot of previous discussion on this..) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
