It doesn't sound like they want to use filesystem-mgmt tools, they want to use
per-file tools. Wouldn't pax (or cpio) be a better tool to do these things?

A customer asked today about the ability to snapshot and rollback
individual files. They have an environment where users might generate
lots of files, but want only a portion of them to be included in a
snapshot. Moreover, typically when they recover a file, they only want
one or two of them. The idea of copying them out of a fs snapshot
wasn't terribly appealing to them since they tend to have pretty large
files. It would be nice to just reattach that file.
Is this reasonable?
