Agreed. I just implemented these three options for f2fs. For the f2fs perspective, DEFAULT conducts - flushing all the user and dentry blocks - checkpointing and then shutdowning fs LOGFLUSH conducts - checkpointing and then shutdowning fs NOLOGFLUSH conducts - shutdowning fs > > Perhaps it woul dbe best to rename them for a generic ioctl > to FS_GOING_DOWN_SYNC, FS_GOING_DOWN_METADATA_METASYNC > and FS_GOING_DOWN_NOSYNC... How about FS_GOING_DOWN_FULLSYNC, FS_GOING_DOWN_METASYNC, and FS_GOING_DOWN_NOSYNC?
