Re: [PATCH 2.6.19 5/5] fs: freeze_bdev with semaphore not mutex

Hi!

There's one more thing, actually. If the on-disk data and metadata are
changed _after_ the sync we do and _before_ we create the snapshot image,
and the subsequent resume fails,

Well, but this is equivalent to a power failure immediately after the sync, so
there _must_ be a way to recover the filesystem from that, no?

Exactly.

I think I'll prepare a patch for freezing the work queues and we'll see what
to do next.

Thanks!
Pavel
