Which explains why you keep ranting without knowing what you're talking about. Copy-on-write. Even a bookworm with 0 real-life-experience should be able to apply this one to a working situation. There's a reason ZFS (and netapp) can take snapshots galore without destroying their filesystem performance. Hell this one even applies *IN THEORY*, so you might not even have to *slum* with any real-world usage to grasp the concept.
