[Gluster-users] User-serviceable snapshots design

[Anand Subramanian]

Hi Paul, that is definitely doable and a very nice suggestion. It is 
just that we probably won't be able to get to that in the immediate code 
drop (what we like to call phase-1 of the feature). But yes, let us try 
to implement what you suggest for phase-2. Soon :-)

Regards,
Anand
