An example is when \fBupdate_atime\fR is invoked. .PP We mark the inode dirty by setting both the page in which the mft record resides and the buffer heads in that page which correspond to the mft record dirty. This ensures that the changes will eventually be propagated to disk when the inode is set dirty. .SH "FIXME" .PP As we are only a read only driver it is safe to just return here for the moment. .SH "FIXME" .PP As we are only a read only driver it is safe to just return here for the moment. .SH "FIXME" .PP As we are only a read only driver it is safe to just return here for the moment.
