Hi All,
I hope this to bee food for thought as I am not able to code such a thing nor am
I in need of such a thing but it seemed like a good idea when it struck me, so;
When an filesystem is snap shotted it is a function of the running filesystem
to provide the data in that snapshot. (or is that lvms doing?)
Most users who use snapshots for backup are going to mount the snap shot and
then tar it up.
Would it be a good idea to provide a virtual file through something like the
sysfs that is a tar representation of the snapshot so that a backup can just
copy the tar file off as needed?
Thanks for reading,
Regards,
Chris.
