#2 lore raw

Hi, Stephane!

Quoted 9 lines

1/ I take a snapshot
2/ I apply a patch
3/ I test my application
4/ I decide to revert to the state of the snapshot discarding the changes caused by the patch and subsequent testing.

Is it possible since snaphots can only be mounted R/O ? Do I have to rsync my R/O snapshot with my partition ? Thanks for enlightning me. Stephane

Currently you cannot revert to a previous snapshot. Due to information from Ryusuke Konishi the current data structures don't support this.

So for now you will have to rely on rsync or a similar tool.

Greetings, Michael
