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?
