Intergration of Blksnap module in Linux Kernel (integration in upstream kernel)

Post by zercho05 »

Is there any roadmap from Veeam to integrate the Blksnap/veeamsnap Module in the standard Linux Kernel?

We have seen the following:
https://github.com/veeam/blksnap/blob/m ... -kernel.md

What's the Status from Veeam on this Project?
Are there any timelines when this should be finished ?
It looks as if this is "sponsored" and maintained by "Veeam Software Group GmbH"

That has always been the ultimate goal, and the reason why we've spent so much Dev and QA resources developing this module. But Veeam cannot just include this into upstream as you say, ultimately it is up to maintainers - and we do need a wider community support to convince them to do this. Or at least to keep their interest going.
