Hi, The dattobd tool has been released under GPL v2 on Github : https://github.com/datto/dattobd and compile + work fine under Gentoo amd64. Could we get an official ebuild for it ? It is a useful tool superseding dump/restore by allowing safe live snapshoting and imaging of an ext2/3/4 or XFS filesystem. Here's the description of the software : Dattobd is an open source Linux kernel module for point-in-time live snapshotting. Dattobd can be loaded onto a running Linux machine (without a reboot) and used to create an image file representing any block device at the instant the snapshot is taken. Thanks ! Laurent
Nothing official, but I created an ebuild that should work: https://github.com/jnse/ebuilds/tree/master/sys-fs/dattobd
