Hi all,

has anyone got any experience with GNU/Linux snapshot file systems?

I googled around and found these:

http://www-mddsp.enel.ucalgary.ca/People/adilger/snapfs/

http://sourcefrog.net/projects/snapfs/

Didn't get any of them installed yet because I won't put my hands
(root) on any GNU/Linux OS in the next day or two.

What I want is something similar to FreeBSD's snapshot file system,
which creates a read-only mount point containing a snapshot of the
data in a section/partition/whatever, where you can copy stuff from.

Any help is appreciated. Cheers.
