That is most likely due to the filesystem cache. Try running iostat
and checking the block device statistics for the device you froze!

Hello,
I want to freeze a file system. I have seen a field in vfs
superblock
s_frozen.
But i am clue less about freezing the file system using that.
freeze_bdev function ( fs/buffer.c) lock a filesystem and force it
into a
consistent state ...
Above function use s_frozen flag to freez the file system ...
