Hi all At the university I work, we plan to switch all containers from simfs to ploop images on the long run. Despite the many advantages of using ploop, there is one major drawback that keeps us from switching production already now: We can't mount ploop images from read-only snapshots. In case of a recovery of a single file, we have to copy the ploop image from the read-only snapshot to some read-write storage in order to be able to mount it and extract the file. For CTs with huge ploop-images this is a big hurdle.
Wouldn't it be possible to add a some flag to the 'ploop' utility to allow mounting ploop images from read-only storage (by bypassing some checks or skipping to set the dirty flag or whatever is necessary)?
