Yes David, you can keep changes between reboots
as they are stored in regular files.
Have you seen that "screenshot"? (only interface has changed)
However it is no CVS -> no warning about changes in the repository (CD)
when you have changed files yourself
To compile and use my module you only need those 15MB kernel header files
already contained on the knoppix CD:
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.translucency.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/translucency login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.translucency.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/translucency co translucency
cd translucency
make
insmod translucency.o
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt # or fd0 or whatever
echo "/some/path -> /mnt" > /proc/sys/translucency/0
# do your work ...
echo "" > /proc/sys/translucency/0
# now you may diff changes, copy, rm or just leave it in /mnt (ram-disks
are auto-deleted on reboot;-)
unluckily translucency is somewhat unclean and still has
problems with symlinks, ".." in pathnames
and directory listings (that contain double-entries for overlaid files)
Even I have the base functionality working without translucency
needing only about 4MB shmfs
additionally I'm very busy finishing my study
while helping my wife with our newborn son
maybe a real kernel developer is continuing on this...
happy testing anyway
Bernhard M.
