Hi Folks,

I am working on the VFS-Lock patch available for linux which is use to
get the functionality of locking and unlocking the filesystem.

Is anyone is working on to get the same functionality on MAC OS X which
makes the filesystem lock unlock????

Is darwin kernel has some kind of mechanism for locking or unlocking the
filesystem???


Any pointers,reply certainly helps.

Can you better online what you mean by lock/unlock. Locks out IO, Locks out fs changes, etc. What is the main goal for this product, what type of feature are you trying to allow?


Note that on Mac OS X the swap space is made of files in the boot file system (by default) and it is dynamic, files can come and go as swap needs change.
