 User Mode Linux HOWTO : Sharing Filesystems between Virtual Machines   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
When checking the size of the COW file in order to see the gobs of space that you're saving, make sure you use 'ls -ls' to see the actual disk consumption rather than the length of the file.
The COW file is sparse, so the length will be very different from the disk usage.
Depending on how you use UML and COW devices, it may be advisable to merge the changes in the COW file into the backing file every once in a while.

 Paul Grenyer - Copy on Write   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
The normal way to make a copy of such an object would be to create a new instance of the object, allocate enough memory to hold the string and then copy the string from the old object into the newly allocated memory pointed to by the new object.
However, if the string data is particularly long it may be quicker to just copy the value of the pointer from one instance of the string-object to the other and have both instances pointing at the same string data.
Once multi-threading is taken into account it becomes very difficult to make COW work correctly for an object such as std::string and the extra overhead of needing to synchronize (even for distinct strings used in different threads, if they might be copies of the same string) is an extra nail in the coffin [3].

 STORAGE MAGAZINE | Snapshots save time and data   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
Copies are made almost immediately within the disk subsystem, despite the size of the volume.
The clone will result in two separate copies, and the length of time it takes to make this kind of copy is related to the amount of data copied and the speed of the disk subsystem.
When a copy of data is requested using the copy-on-write technique, the disk subsystem simply sets up a second pointer - a snapshot index - and represents it as a new copy.

 Adobe Open Source: adobe::copy_on_write< T > Class Template Reference
Copy on write semantics treat an object such that a copying becomes "lazy", that is, a copy of an object will only take place when absolutely necessary.
This happens whenever the value is written to, hence the name "copy on write".
This will copy the underlying value (if necessary) so changes to the value do not affect other copy_on_write objects.

 kbAlertz: (103858) - The MIcrosoft Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Windows XP's Copy on Write page protection is a concept ...
Copy on Write works as follows: In generic terms, an application can load something into its virtual memory (for example, a code section or DLL code).
Once the application needs to write to the memory (for example, in the form of a fixup), then that application must have a new physical page so that the modifications are not seen by other processes.
If this is one of multiple instances of a process, these fixups must go through the copy on write process, and the virtual memory pages of the process's code section will not be able to map and share the same physical pages as the other instances.

 Copy On Write - Waikato Linux Users Group
CopyOnWrite is a concept that allows you to create initially identical incarnations of a piece of data of which you only expect a relatively minor fraction to diverge from then on nearly for free.
The idea is that instead of actually copying the original, you organize it as an indirect structure, a collection of pointers to fragments of memory which the data content of the object is strewn across.
Obviously you'll still need to copy the data once you need to make individual changes, but if the pointer collection includes a flag for each fragment signifying whether it is unique to that incarnation or shared between several, you can simply copy only the one fragment with data to be changed.

The only way to create a new object is to copy an existing one and then change it until it suits you.
The main problem with my idea is that copying the slot is fast; using it is slow.
This is just the opposite of what we need, as a tipical use would have slot copying initiated from a user action (where we can wait a few milliseconds) while slot use would happen all the time.

 18.2 Copy on Write
At that point, a copy of the data is made and the two strings go their separate ways.
Because copies of RWCStrings are so inexpensive, you are encouraged to store them by value inside your objects, rather than storing a pointer.
Copy on write makes the process efficient, too, since a copy of the data will not be made unless the string should change.

The top layer must always be writable (though file permissions may still prevent writes from succeeding), and files in higher levels mask files in lower levels.
If the visible instance of a file is in a writeable layer, then all writes are made directly to it.
If the visible layer is readonly, then the first write to the file triggers a copy to the top level which then becomes the visible instance of the file.

Abstract: The copy-on-write optimization is used in operating systems such as Mach [8] to avoid copying data when large portions of memory are sent between processes in messages.
The kernel maintains data structures which allow the system to defer copying any data until either the sender or recipient needs to store a new value.
After repeated copies, these structures may grow complex.
