2006/6/3, Bruno <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I don't know if vhashify and friends of util-vserver keep some state of their operations (like a DB of hashed files)
AFAIK they just store files in a directory tree with their sha1 hashes as file names
What may be useful is e.g. an adjusted 'cp' tool that copies regular files as hardlink to the reference and adds IUNLINK and IMMUTABLE flags to the hardlinked files (where the flags are not alreay present) This will copy a whole guest as quickly as scanning the existing tree and creating a new inode/hardlink for each inode encountered.
A neat addition might be automatically differentiating between unified files (hardlink them with cow flags) and normal files (copy them over) so that copying an already vhashified vserver would be a single command Best regards, Grzegorz Nosek _______________________________________________ Vserver mailing list [email protected] http://list.linux-vserver.org/mailman/listinfo/vserver
