I'm just wondering if there's any development being done on NetApp-like
snapshots.  (This differs from LVM snapshots in that it's file-by-file,
instead of volume based.)  If not, has anyone given it any consideration? 
It would be a huge win for the RAID-in-a-box folks, and, speaking as a
sysadmin, is something about which I dream frequently.

Just curious...
