Subject: Ability to discard all changes after a point in time?
Date: Fri, 27 May 2011 08:28:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201105270828.32843.dexen.devries@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
recently I was searching for a way to discard all changes after a certain
point in time -- that is, to rollback filesystem state to a particular
checkpoint. I couldn't find a way, is there any?
If not, I'd like to request such functionality. Preferrably selectable at
mount time, via an argument to mount (or the `rootflags' kernel parameter).
Something along the lines `rollbackto=<checkpoint-number>'.
The desired effect is to set the indicated checkpoint as the latest one, so all
subsequent changes to filesystem are discarded.
What are your thoughts on that?
Regards,
