Hello, Personally for me, it will be great to an utility like this(supporting the current utility conventions): rvcp cp | ss [device] checkpoint-number This should only work on an unmounted partition(else error), cp type should be the one set by user (sp | ss), The question should be asked that the operation will make all the data written after this cp (cp date here) will be unrecoverably lost continue any way?[yes/no], requiring full answer. After this the FS should be in the state described by this cp and can be mounted rw. All cps after given should be eliminated including ss cps. The use case is reverting system state(even the rootfs with the help of live cd or live usb) to the previously made ss or existing cp without any need of having another hdd, coping data from ro mounted cp to the drive and than copying it back. This should ease FS modifying related experiments greatly.
