Ahem. Can we please get that FIFREEZE/FITHAW idea out of everybody's
head?

The fact that on some file systems it flushes the journal is an
implementation detail, not a general feature of the concept. You
cannot rely on this. Moreover, it does a lot you really *don't* want,
i.e. frickin freeze IO on that fs! If that fs is necessary for
operation you risk a hung system.

It's like eating a rotten egg, just so it cannot spill and get all
over your clothes. I mean, sure your clothes might not have gotten
dirty, but the fact you are now sick is probably a lot worse.
