Where are ROW modes in V8?

Well... ROW isn't considered to be a production feature in our roadmap. Yes, people keep talking about it but it's way below our lowest watermark to start raising it's priority.

We have writable snapshots scheduled for current LSFS development roadmap (LSFS had replaced IBV as you know) but... It's not going to happen anytime soon. Sorry about that!

I'm digging this up...again...to see if anyone at Starwind is actually trying to implement this. I've been told "soon" for literally years now, yet I'm not seeing it. If you're not going to add it, that's fine, but at least have the decency to state that.

The closest feature which can be done with current implementation is dropping tail of the journal to rollback state of LSFS device to the selected snapshot. We'll bring it to UI.
But it is limited with one device and one path, not suitable to scenarios where several devices are based on single "golden image".
