Re: mirror-stream over ssh w/o 'root' privs

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Well, you can always write the stream out to a file I guess,
    but the basic problem here is that the mirroring stream is a
    B-Tree layer stream.  If we can't trust the source there's no
    point running the stream onto an actual filesystem without some
    major auditing of its contents.

    Auditing the stream is certainly possible, maybe a GSOC project?
    Or perhaps the solution here is to integrate the auditing with the
    (upcoming) fsck functionality.

    Hmm.
