How to freeze ext3 file system

A-Liang · 09-13-2004, 12:11 AM

Hello...

I plan to develop a application with C for Red Hat Linux Enterprise AS2.1 platform...

The function is as follows:
- freeze the file system(ext2 or ext3)
- take the backup
- thaw the file system.

But I don't know that how to freeze the file system with ioctl or other system calls?
So I want to get some help.
Please tell me for detail usage and notice items.

thanks...
