Welcome to the COWLOOP home page
|
|
The cowloop driver is a copy-on-write loop driver (block device) to be used
on top of any other block driver.
The cowloop driver shields the lower driver from any write accesses.
Instead, it diverts all write-accesses to an arbitrary regular file.
The cowloop driver has been developed for
ATmission, the Linux Live-CD of AT Consultancy.

The authors intend to support the cowloop software in the future.
You will see new versions and more capabilities.
We will consider to integrate any modification to the cowloop driver
that will be sent to us. If we decide not to incorporate
a modification, we will place it as a patch or patch-set together
with similar contributions. Obviously there will be a notice about
the reason that a particular patch was kept separate.
