NILFS version 2 is equipped with the Garbage Collector that can keep numerous snapshots of NILFS filesystem. You can preserve some consistent states (checkpoints) of NILFS filesystem as snapshots ``after'' the states are established. For example, when you have removed some files accidentally, you can get the snapshot that represent the past state which holds the vanished files. Checkpoints are collected by the garbage collector unless they are marked as ``snapshot''. We welcome any comments or contributions. Thanks for your attention, AMAGAI Yoshiji Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation NTT Cyber Space Laboratories Open Source Software Computing Project
