Subject: Snapper snapshot comparison algorithm
Date: Sat, 1 Dec 2012 13:24:20 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFhuFEdxHxdiAutfxxsQ9i0OJj_CfRwWD-0LuhvoJYGHkTsG4A@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I needed help with understanding the snapshot comparison algorithm
that snapper uses and its shortcomings. From reading the code, what I
understood is that it does a block by block compare. I'm not very sure
if that's the best way to go about it. Also, since the send receive
code is still in development stages, is there a scope to add more
functionality to it?
