[sheepdog-users] sheepfs vdi snapshot access

[Andrew J. Hobbs]

I was thinking about this last night, and actually the functionality is 
there already...  But you have to be creative.

First, you don't want the original snapshot to change.  Clone it.

dog vdi clone -s <snapshot name> <src vdi> <target vdi>

Then proceed as normal with sheepfs and mounting the new <target vdi>.  
Advantage is that any changes to the underlying volume occur to the 
clone which can be discarded after access.
