I wasn't asking about implementation.
Here are some questions:
- Should this create a new FileStorage? Or should it modify the existing
FileStorage in place?
Probably create a new one (analogous to a pack). Seems safer than
truncating to me.
- Should this work while the FileStorage is being used?
I don't think this is important. If a new file is created it can open
the existing one readonly anyhow.
- Should this behave transactional?
No need if it creates a new file
However its done it'll sure beat the iterate through transactions to
find the offset for a particular time then dd to create a truncated copy
method that I use ;-)
