Can't that do snapshots like BtrFS, like ext4? No, or not currently. Actually, XFS shares some devs and features with btrfs.
I recall reading that XFS could do snapshots but required (a) not to mount via uuid and (b) a "freeze" option. I also recall that the freeze option became kernel sported and could even be used with ext3, but I don't recall where I read that.
The name is the same, but the feature is distinctly different. The purpose is to create a backup of the filesystem into a different device. It is not a COW (copy on write). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
