I will try to cleanup one of the test tools I have been using and post (pretty ugly code in my current test tool)

We need some better userspace tools for this - but I do have some test tools I used when adding this ioctl.

Note that snapshot mounts (the ability to use the list of snapshots, and then mount one of those snapshots read-only)
are not quite finished - but is on my todo list for next two weeks.  Will be very useful for some who
might like to compare current and older (snapshot, timewarp token) version of the same share.

Dear list,

i'm searching for days now and i hope i'm on the right channel here to
get an answer for my question.

Is a cifs mount on linux able to list snapshots? For example: a way like
shadow_copy2 module for windows clients to get previous versions.
Can i mount a samba share in a way to use the information of
shadow_copy2 or is there any other module/way to get, for example a
.snapshot folder where the user can access older versions of the content?


Thank you in advance!
Marco Weiß
