This would definitely be an option if someone were to write a library to abstract over transactional filesystems. Reiser4 also has transactions. But it doesn't seem worth putting much effort into transactions when such a small minority of users will be affected. Although, if someone wanted to create such a module, it would definitely be appreciated... although we'd want to be sure not to use it as a bandaid over bugs. -- David Roundy http://www.darcs.net _______________________________________________ darcs-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/darcs-devel
