Hi Raghavendra,
What I want to do is to take volume snapshots with btrfs, so I need the
volume locked.
When snapshot is taking, all handles(IO, gluster cli) except snap hung on.
As I know, the xlator lock does not lock the whole volume bricks, but only a
range of a file in bricks.
Any good advice?
Thanks,
Kane
