Copy-On-Write: Inner Workings and Benefits
Copy-on-Write (CoW) is a powerful technique that optimizes storage and memory usage by deferring data duplication until necessary. This approach allows multiple processes to share the same data blocks, creating separate copies only when modifications occur. CoW enhances performance and efficiency in various applications, including file systems, virtualization, and databases.
