[Gluster-devel] Versioning

[John Mark Walker]

I'm pretty sure it's file versioning, but I'll get one of the devs to fill out a feature template to provide more explanation.

We are seeking a type of versioning functionality like a multi version filesystem, where a translator writes the previous version of a file out to some location (other brick) when the file is about to change. This is because we have a very low change rate, but need to keep the old version available for a long time if a change does happen. Files do get moved around in directory structures, but almost never changed.
