It would be really intersting to do a cow format compatible patch for loop.c so that the standard loopback device could mount cow file pairs. Has anyone considered/started on this. If not, I might give it a hack. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Doug Dumitru 800-470-2756 (610-237-2000) EasyCo LLC do...@ea... http://easyco.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- D3, U2, jBase Virtual Servers.

If not, I might give it a hack. As I've said before, I think the way to go would be to teach device-mapper about the COW on-disk metadata format, and treat it as a snapshot. -- - mdz |
