[Only slightly offtopic. Zumastor implements one of the schemes proposed at https://www.redhat.com/archives/dm-devel/2006-October/msg00034.html to reduce the overhead of maintaining multiple snapshots.] Zumastor 0.6 is now available from http://zumastor.org This release adds support for offline resizing and fixes a bug that could cause data loss. (For developers, it also adds a way to run our autobuilder tests before committing changes.) The full list of fixed issues is available at our issue tracker via the ugly url http://code.google.com/p/zumastor/issues/list?q=label%3ARelease6%20status%3AFixed&can=1 For those just tuning in, Zumastor is free software that adds enterprise storage features (primarily improved snapshots and remote replication) to Linux. Zumastor's snapshots share space more effectively than LVM snapshots, and it makes snapshots easily accessible by users (e.g. via Samba's "Previous Versions" feature). Zumastor's replication doesn't have to compute and send checksums for each file, so it's much more efficent than rsync. Please test Zumastor and give us your feedback so we can improve it for the next release. Enjoy!
