I had this exact use cases a few months back: a big SQLite DB I didn't want to duplicate (and use twice the storage) before testing a script, on a filesystem without copy-on-write.

I wrote a fuse tool to provide copy-on-write for the file instead: https://github.com/remram44/cowblock

OK, Thank you for the feedback. How much traction have you been able to get for your project so far?

[remram]

As far as I know, it's only been used by me, once.

Out of curiosity, What kind of marketing have you done so far?

[remram]

This comment above is it so far. I am not trying to get make it popular, I just thought it was relevant to this thread and might help somebody else.

Oh I see. Got it.
