Bugs and TODOs
  1. • Hashed directories do not currently work.  Be sure to keep the CONFIG_EXT3COW_INDEX flag undefined (for the time being).
  2. • There is only rudimentary failure code for versioning.  If your disk fails or computer crashes mid-write, there is no guarantee of file system consistency.
  3. • Similarly, there are no fsck or other file system tools for ext3cow.
  4. • There is no way to delete old versions.  Although, this once existed in the 2.4 version, so will eventually make its way to 2.6.
  5. • There is no way to backup or copy an entire version chain.  A cool feature might be to have a cpv (copy with version) that will copy and entire version chain within the file system.  This is tricky to implement for many reasons.
  6. • The ls file@ to get a version listing needs to be updated for 2.6
  7. • There should be a way to make certain files unversionable.  The flag exists, but there is no user-land mechanism to turn it on/off.
  8. • “Fake” or “Temporal” inodes get allocated in a stupid way, which will cause problems for long-running systems.
