  1. Comment - HP releases 64-bit Unix file system for Linux open sourcing

    (Jun 24, 2008 - 5:30 PM)

    IIRC the thing advfs had that was really cool was this concept of taking a snapshot of the file system that you could back up in relative leisure while the operations continued to chug along in COW mode. Haven't seen this feature in Linux filesystems -- it's not something you would trouble to implement for fun.
