I read some documents about this. I think we can use the shadow file. Example, we can mount a disk like this: "hdituilt mount disk -shadow /shadow.image" I think at this time all I/O will redirected to shadow file and I can copy my snapshot from the RAW Device. But that have some problems. The first that is must need re-mount the disk, and I think at system run time we can't re-mount the boot volume. The second is I can not merge the shadow data to the real device when after created the snapshot. Is have any easy way to create a snapshot for local disk?
