yes, but there is a limit. a given block will only be cowed once. So for example, the superblock gets rewritten to many times, it's only going to end up...

yeah. We have seen the effect you are talking about but we've never run into the case where we ran out of memory before we ran out of cow file....

I've gotten it to build and work on a pi a long time ago. it's possible and not that hard. you just have to find the bits of code that...

well there's two things here: getting dattobd to run on a raspi (which I've managed to do, but as is, it won't work) and will it work on nfs. I...
