Yes sure i believe it works, my concerns are more that the main tools just don't support it, which makes it imho more complicated to implement the installation support.
So here is what I needed to mess with to get it working:
"Version 2 of the filesystem, known as NILFS2, is included in Linux kernel 2.6.30." Works out of the box with the most recent arch kernel.
mkinitcpio.conf: I just added: MODULES="nilfs2" I wonder if
Kernel: this is something that can be easily added to the filesystems
hook.
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda3 ro rootfstype=nilfs2 AIF would need to take this into account, but seems easy enough.
Initscripts: I provided a patch here: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20260
No other troubles as far as I know. Is there anything I'm missing?
Let me know where I can help, this is an awesome filesystem. Blazing fast and when I delete or overwrite
/boot/grub/menu.lst: things on accident, it's so cool
to just mount a snapshot from like an hour ago without having to set anything up in advance, and without even unmounting my root fs.
Cheers, Alex According to the util-linux git it seems new version will have nilfs2 support, if this happens archboot support will happen very soon.
