something I find intriguing is a program called rsnapshot. It uses
rsync and some other tools (gnu cp) to create time sliced snapshots.
They use hard links so that the N snapshots of M size don't occument
N X M space. Now, if openafs supported hardlinks.. this would be a
very efficient way of making a RO replica a near hot swappable clone
if the RW volume went away suddenly. Suggestions?

This sounds interesting, but I think the data rsynced might not be new
enough. I think there is a lot of overhead doing rsync every 60, 30, 5
or even 1 minute.
