We want another general purpose file system that supports a continuous snapshotting. There are many function for recovering error on filesyste, journaling, softupdate or RAID in hardware layer. However, human errors are not covered such function, a mistyped `rm * ~' is executed exactly and speedy. A continuous snapshotting is a solution that avoid such disaster. We believe that LFS is suitable for continuous snapshotting. NILFS uses so some resources include disk space and CPU cycle for human. We will hold a BOF session in Linux Symposium Ottawa June, 2007, titled "Filesystem support for continuous snapshotting". Please join to discuss you're interested in snapshotting. Thank you.
