Fedora 13 May Support Btrfs System Rollbacks Nov 23, 2009, 13 :03 UTC (0 Talkback[s]) (5229 reads) (Other stories by Michael Larabel)
"While Btrfs is still under heavy development (though it has been in the mainline kernel for nearly a year) and it still has room for performance improvements, it does have a nice set of features like online volume growth, online defragmentation, transparent compression support, SSD optimizations, and copy-on-write snapshot support.
"Chris Ball and Josef Bacik are looking to leverage the Btrfs snapshots support in Fedora 13 by introducing support for system rollbacks. Under their proposal, a yum plug-in would create a Btrfs snapshot before every yum transaction. Users could also create their own Btrfs snapshot at anytime."
