Though it's likely been written before: Virtio-fs is a wonderful productivity boost in development environments in which unrelated deadlocks, crashes and hard-lockups happen. Why? Because the underlying file system is never corrupted (though individual file contents may be, the file system itself is protected). For example, using btrfs' snapshot ability in the underlying file system and comparing 'before and after' crashes creates a powerful debugging tool.
I suspect most folks involved in virtio-fs know this, but it's worth putting in the record for new folks. Harry _______________________________________________ Virtio-fs mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/virtio-fs
