File system quiesce

Quiescing the file system consists of two major tasks as listed in the following points:

  • Prohibit new I/O requests from initiating, which is called locking the file system.

  • Flush file system cache (write cached data back to disk). The system must complete any outstanding application I/O and note completion of outstanding metadata updates.
