4 Is this a reference to snapshots? You can use ZFS for those. The
5 kernel modules are only available in the form of 9999 ebuilds right
6 now, but they your data should be safe unless you go out of your way
7 to break things (e.g. putting the ZIL/SLOG on a tmpfs). Alternatively,
8 there is XFS, which I believe also supports snapshots.
