Emanuele and I don't really have a plan for how to implement it, but there are developers from Google that have ideas (because Google has a similar "metricfs" thing in-house). I think atomic access would use some kind of "source_ops" struct containing create_snapshot and release_snapshot function pointers. Paolo
