    Description

      Description

      In our description of fsyncLock we say that fsyncLock ensures "that the data files do not change", but I don't believe this is true: it only ensures that they don't change in a way that will corrupt a copy taken while the instance is fsyncLock'ed.

      Scope of changes

      Impact to Other Docs

      • Establish definition for fsynclock with better examples of what it does/does not do
      • Document and backport.
