Hi all,
I''ve seen a lot of interesting ideas on your wiki page.
http://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Project_ideas
I''d like to see one more:
combining some features (snapshot, Incremental backups, Hybrid Storage, NFS
support ) could lead to a file system for Laptops with disconnected mode
support.
For example: laptop user with home on file server or shared project workspace
on file server.
snapshot could be used to make local copy (cache for NFS mount)
in connected mode hybird storage could combine local cache with remote file
server, reading from cache and propagateing changes to fileserver.
in disconnected mode user works with data in cache.
incremental backup could be used for synch after reconnect.
this would introduce a whole set of new problems, network latency, conflict
resolution, security, etc. but it''s an idea on how to expand btrfs
usage to
the mobile world.
Regards
Christian
