Since a loop device is backed by a file, a backup will already result in its parent filesystem being frozen. It's sufficient to just freeze the parent filesystem, so we can skip the loop device. This avoids a situation where a loop device and its parent filesystem are both frozen and then thawed out of order. For example, if the loop device is enumerated first, we would thaw it while its parent filesystem is still frozen. The thaw operation fails and the loop device remains frozen.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
