A > complete example line is: ack. unrelated to that: imho, the term 'snapshot' is a misnomer. i understand and expect something different under a snapshot in the filesystem context. for me, a snapshot consists not of the diff but of the entire data of a filesystem. like a dump made at a particular point in time. while we are at it and this is a good time to name things properly, do you have a better, more suitable name in mind we could use instead of 'snapshot' to designate an 'overlay packed into a file'? > We could probably drop support for /etc/live-persistence.binds ack. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: [email protected] Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
