Power off notification

The CE.NET documentation defines the FSNOTIFY_POWER_OFF flag for
MyFSD_Notify:
Indicates that the device is entering a suspended state. No system calls can
be made at this point, and the file system manager calls the application on
a single thread.

I would like to perform a flush when my FSD receives this notification. Can
FSDMGR_WriteDisk and DeviceIoControl(IOCTL_DISK_DELETE_SECTORS) be called
when I receive this power down notification, or do those calls classify as
"system calls" in the documentation excerpt above?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Yes those are system calls. You cannot perform a flush that late in the
power down sequence.

Is there a different notification, sent during the power down sequence, that
I can listen for and flush on?
