The reason we didn't use dm-snapshot is that it removes the security benefits of readonly-root (after all, you don't need 99% of the system to actually be read-write); moreover, you can't selectively apply it (it has to be done at the whole block device level.) > Btw, If someone could talk davej into including unionfs into the Fedora > kernel, we'd use that instead of dm-snapshot and we'd have persistence > more easily solved [1].
