Just a heads-up: those frequent mentions are entirely down to me trying to gain some attention in order to get feedback and understand how people are using btrfs so that I could get the overall shape of snazzer right in a way that's useful/appealing to btrfs users. I had started extracting the snazzer-receive command out of snazzer itself and generalizing it to work with any arbitrary btrfs filesystem. It seems this functionality is a common requirement and perhaps it's best released as a separate stand-alone utility so that folks don't have to worry about adopting any of snazzer's snapshot layout idiosyncrasies. There's not too much work left in it but as I haven't been overwhelmed with feedback so far I've only been spending an hour or two per week on it. If somebody would genuinely be interested in such a tool I'll try to get a first version out this weekend :) The working name is btrfsdup, it works much like snazzer-receive but only tries to reproduce an entire filesystem without any snapshot layout assumptions, doesn't try to do any on-the-fly snapshot pruning and obviously doesn't try to append any snapshot measurement reports to the target FS. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
