I thought you stopped working on this :D Alternatives are good though. Will test yours when it's out.

Please do let me know. For me the main bonus point of having timestamp in names in the abiility to sort it by creation date by simply using "ls". As for the more-than-one-click-per-second problem, in my script I simply let it fail and return informative-enough error message. A workaround would be adding nanosecond timestamp, or put the UUID AFTER the time stamp, e.g: /btrfs/.autosnap/@minute_20120223_131501_123456_5669613e-5ddd-11e1-a644-0800271feb99 -- Fajar -- 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
