Abstract
Block volume mount synchronization is provided. A call is received to mount a block volume upon initiation of container generation on the host computer. Metadata of the block volume is checked for host lock prior to mounting the block volume on the host computer. The mounting of the block volume is allowed only when the metadata indicates that prior host lock does not exist thereby restricting usage of the block volume to a single user preventing data corruption of the block volume.
