      A query using the readConcern 

      {level: "linearizable"}

      will be blocked if the database has been fsyncLocked. This behavior should be mentioned, since it's not obvious that a read would be blocked as this is not the case for majority or local.

      Note - This is due to the current implementation, which uses NOOP writes to the oplog.
