Ok, that sounds like a good idea. Not really knowing what this was
I went and read http://www.mckusick.com/softdep. Clever and interesting
however this doc seemed to pertain to theory only. I performed a little
browse on
the mailing list and found nothing very relevent on softupdates ie.
semantics.
I checked /usr/src/sys/ufs/ffs and their was a softupdates readme that
just covers
tunefs (enabling soft updates) and a URL which offered more theory.
So, just how would I create this snapshot?
