hi all, I intend to write a snapshot module for Ext2/3 file-systems. For that i need to make sure that FS is in consistent state before taking snapshot. For ex. in case of UFS, the superblock has a fs_clean flag which is set to be FSSTABLE to tell that its in consistent state. (otherwise its set to FSACTIVE) I m not able to find any such information for Ext2/Ext3. (The superblock does have a s_state flag, but that just tells whether file-system was cleanly unmounted or not.) Pls, let me know if you have any clue/info...
