Description:   Opened: 2004-12-17 02:55 0000 
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.

There are versions for both 2.4 and 2.6 kernel.

cowloop-2.11.ebuild

I couldn't compile this package successfully. First, it complained I did not
have a 2.6 kernel when it didn't find /lib/modules/(my kernel version)/misc. I
created the directory manually, and this is what I got:

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r9'
Makefile:500: /usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r9/arch/x86/Makefile: No such file
ordirectory
make[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add `+' to parent make
rule.
make[1]: *** No rule to make target
`/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r9/arch/x86/Makefile'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.9-gentoo-r9'
make: *** [cowloop.ko] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

------- Comment #2 From Daniel Black 2005-01-01 07:05:24 0000 ------- 
sys-fs/cowloop-2.11 added.

Still testing 1.4 for 2.4 kernels.

------- Comment #3 From Daniel Black 2005-01-01 13:30:13 0000 ------- 
cowloop 1.4 added.

Gotta love the cows.

Have fun.
