The vast majority of these programs are not ordinarily linked in a single DSO though; KDE and the Linux kernel for example are well-known for containing very large numbers of DSOs. I am also skeptical of this methodology: checking the first

If you can pause writes to the disk while reading from it (and you are using a supported filesystem, and you aren't doing or can ignore any raw device accesses), it would be much easier to use fsfreeze(8) instead. Caution is of course
