@hal_pomeranz@infosec.exchange the first idea that came to mind was to mount each “version set” inside a separate VM, and then for convenience share those mounts (read only, no squash) back out to the host with NFS. Since the NFS “network” is virtio, I’d guess the performance would be similar to native disk bandwidth.
(One could use cloud init or similar to automate the mount-and-NFS-share steps, from boot arguments, to make this relatively low setup overhead.)
