Hey Hurd people!

I follow OpenBSD development for fun, and there is an interesting new 
filesystem proposal:
good enough fs (gefs), which is a "crash-safe, snapshotting, copy on write FS". 
 It might
become the default filesystem on Plan9.  The developer uses his gefs to create 
a snapshot
every 5 mintues, which seems pretty cool.

Apparently it's 9,000 lines of C code in the kernel.  The license is MIT.  
Maybe a port to
the Hurd would be worthwhile ?

the gefs paper is here:  https://orib.dev/gefs.pdf

Thanks,

Joshua
