Re: Is there a way to preserve pbuilder chroot environment?

I still use cowbuilder because schroot doesn't support cowdancer for
copy-on-write chroots and I found tarball mode in pbuilder to be way
too slow.
I use sbuild (actually, schroot under the hood) with btrfs-snapshot
chroots. Creating a new build environment really is a snap.
btrfs (and LVM) snapshots are great, but they only help if you have a
btrfs or LVM volume to hand to work on.
sbuild supports also aufs chroots, which don't require any specific
underlying fs, and are reasonably fast.
The only problem is that aufs is semi-unsupported in Debian. But I still
trust it more than cowdancer…
