- * there is one difference, which is that freezing will also export an
- * underlying shared fileset BufFile for sharing. Freezing produces TapeShare
- * metadata for the worker when this happens, which is passed along through
- * shared memory to leader.
- *
- * The leader process can then pass an array of TapeShare metadata (one per
- * worker participant) to LogicalTapeSetCreate(), alongside a handle to a
- * shared fileset, which is sufficient to construct a new logical tapeset that
- * consists of each of the tapes materialized by workers.
- *
- * Note that while logtape.c does create an empty leader tape at the end of the
- * tapeset in the leader case, it can never be written to due to a restriction
- * in the shared buffile infrastructure.
