Some of them are: - zfs (on solaris) and zfs-fuse - snapshot merge for LVM : http://lwn.net/Articles/363575/ - btrfs -- Fajar _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

I fought with tap:qcow for months and finally gave up. No matter what combination of Dom0/DomU I had I ran into some bug somewhere.
