Btrfs and raw zvol-like partition

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

A nice feature is ZFS is the "ZVOL" layer, that permit you to export (directly) a raw device from your zfs pool of disc, with the benefit of powerful (growing!) snapshot and easy raid management from zfs. It's particulary usefull when you use it with virtual server, allowing you to centralize all your backup problematic, etc

Does btrfs plan to support this kind of feature ? (please, don't tell me that lvm do, lvm just sucks when you make a snapshot of your disk, and lack of the "growing", commit, rollback, diffsend feature).

Thanks !
