Package: schroot
Version: 1.1.6-1
Severity: wishlist
Using type=file takes ages to unpack the tarball on slow machines.
Maybe schroot could learn to copy-on-write?
This could be approached either with btrfs (which I have not
tested), or with fl-cow or cowbuilder's hackery (which I'd rather
avoid).
Or maybe a to-be-written fuse filesystem?
I will hopefully find some time to play with btrfs soon and shall
report.
