Sorry fo the typo in the subject! Just to add, I would like to see a two way mirror solution, but if it=
will not work now/is not implemnted yet, I would propably choose betwe= en drbd in asynchronous mode or make a some kind if "incremental" snaps= hot to a remote mapped disk (I do not know yet, if brtfs support it) =A0= - it means have one shapshop and let's say have a daily incremental upd= ate of this snapshot. You mean like "zfs send -i"? If yes, why not just use zfs? There's zfsonlinux project, with easy-to-install ppa for ubuntu. Or you could compile it manually.
How would you do it?
If you DO mean zfs-send-like-functionality, then you should ask about "btrfs send and receive", not "two way mirror" (which is not an accurate way to describe what you want). Also, send/receive ability does not mean it can act as two-way mirror. It CAN be an alternative to drbd async though. I don't think there's any publicly available code for it yet though. --=20 =46ajar -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
