Also of interest is Btrfs send/receive: http://lwn.net/Articles/506244/
This code is still in active development, there were changes sent for it for 3.6 after the merge window closed and the first RC was released that Linus rejected as being too late. There is at least one patch being discussed on the btrfs list as a possible submission for the next 3.7 RC.
(According to the article, ZFS has it too, so it may solve problems for ZFS users interested in this discussion.)
Interestingly, this has been stated on the list: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/21015 # That's the whole point of the btrfs-send design: It's very easy # to receive on different filesystems. A generic receiver is in # preparation. And to make it even more generic: A sender using # the same stream format is also in preparation for zfs. So you may well be able to do bidirectional exchanges between btrfs and ZFS filesystems. cheers, Chris -- Chris Samuel : http://www.csamuel.org/ : Melbourne, VIC
