    If you want to use the disconnected mode, you can issue the
following commands:

fs connect dis (enter the disconnected mode)
........
........	(Do anything you want)
........
fs connect replay (replay all the operations above and you are 
still in disconnected mode)

    If you want to return to the normal mode, you can issue the
command as follows:

fs connect connect

    But it would be better for you to make sure that you have
replayed the log file. I think it works but there are some
bugs at there because those codes were written in last summer.
Since then I have been working on the new version for disconnected 
mode(log optimizations) intermittently because I am busy with the
other projects.
