Hi Andrew, I am writing a filtering device which tracks the write to the file-system. I am doing it for ufs, vxfs and for zfs. Sometime for consistent point I need to freeze the file-system which flushes dirty block to the disk and block every IO on the top level. So, for ufs and vxfs I got lockfs and VX_FREEZE/VX_THAW, but with zfs I didn't get the luck.
Thanks for your response.
