[dm-devel] Multisnap / dm-thin

[Spelic <spelic shiftmail org>]

Hello all,
I would need the multisnap feature, i.e., the ability to make many 
snapshots without high performance degradation...
I saw it mentioned around, but it does not seem to be in the kernel yet. 
Is it planned to be introduced? Is there an ETA?

Note that I am not very fond of the new dm-thin which is planned to have 
a multisnap-equivalent feature, because of the fragmentation it will 
cause (I suppose a defragmenter is long way to come). Not having 
fragmentation is the reason for using blockdevices instead of loop 
mounted files after all isn't it?

Thanks for your information
