There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is confusing. It can be used while in fsync/lock state. The confusion comes from replication and writes which will block reads (mongodump) and your backup. Newer version of mongod will not cause this situation but I don't think the change made it in to 2.2.0 so currently it may be true that once you fsync/lock + queue a writer that all read will block -- it was true pre 2.2.0 for sure.
If you are using mongodump then you should not use fsync/lock.
