NILFS non-root snapshot viewer

This suite of tools allows you to list and mount snaphots in a NILFS2 filesystem.

Setup

run make all to build, install (with setuid) the binaries, accompanying script and .desktop shortcuts

Usage

The shortcuts allow for a easy usage: make a snaphot, select and mount one (requires the fzf tool on the PATH), and unmount all snapshots.

nilfs.sh choose-mount-snapshot # select and mount one with fzf
nilfs.sh umount-snapshots # unmounts all snapshots

Caveats

Currently this setup supports only one NILFS2 device. The scripts auto-detects-its using mounts, but it can be set with env var NILFS2_MOUNTER_DEVICE
