Sounds a lot like XIP, which is based on EXT2. Define a partition of the same size as the intended DCSS (or slightly less), put your stuff there, unmount it, use 'dd' or something like it to grab a snap-shot, and store. James G.

Possibly one or more filesystems into a DCSS. Maybe swap to DCSS too! -- R;
