I have added the file system snapshot driver fss(4) to NetBSD-current.
It is not enabled by default in any kernel config.
To try it out:
- Be sure you have a backup.
- Compile and install a kernel with:
options DIAGNOSTIC
options DEBUG
pseudo-device fss 4
- Create the device nodes /dev/{r,}fss{0,1,2,3}
- Be really sure you have a backup.
- Use fssconfig(8) to configure a file system snapshot device.
- Read or mount the snapshot using /dev/{r,}fss{0,1,2,3}
