#include <xfs/xfs_fs.h>

int ioctl(int */fd/, XFS_IOC_GOINGDOWN, uint32_t flags);*

Shuts down a live XFS filesystem. This is a software initiated hard shutdown and should be avoided whenever possible. After this call completes, the filesystem ill be totally unusable until the filesystem has been unmounted and remounted.

XFS_FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_DEFAULT

Flush all dirty data and metadata to disk, flush pending transactions to the log, and shut down.

XFS_FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_LOGFLUSH

Flush all pending metadata transactions to the log and shut down, leaving all dirty data unwritten.

XFS_FSOP_GOING_FLAGS_NOLOGFLUSH

Shut down immediately, without writing pending transactions or dirty data to disk.

On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set to indicate the error.

Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the following:

EFSBADCRC

Metadata checksum validation failed while performing the query.

EFSCORRUPTED

Metadata corruption was encountered while performing the query.

EIO

An I/O error was encountered while performing the query.

EPERM
