Finally virtiofs in qemu. I am happy.
Would love to see some perftests against 9p and nfs.

Many small files, big files random seek...

[flower]

but you can touch them.
and if you change their contents and roll back afterwards your changes have gone away. thats not way i expect from a snapshot...

[flower]

well the same is easily done with lvm/ext4.
i just dont think filesystem snapshot are the correct way to deal with package upgrades.

...

[flower]

just tried it and damn it is fast. love it so far.
i still have to learn how to use virtio-fs with it though...

and it would be nice...

[flower]

Not sure how to do that deterministicly if your design goal is to have stable uids across multiple systems without any central instance...

[flower]

Only if that uid is already taken. And you get stable uids across multiple systems without a central ldap.

I see it as a win. Its not perfect...
