We need a published crate here, otherwise we can't publish fuse-backend-rs anymore.

Is there a published version of snapshot?

@bergwolf no, I cannnot find the crate on crates.io .

hmm, I've created firecracker-microvm/firecracker#4162. Let's see what the firecracker maintainers think.

Now that we have https://crates.io/crates/dbs-snapshot, could you use the published one?

Generally lgtm, thanks!
This patch add a new sub module `persist` for the `fuse_backend_rs::api::vfs` module. The `persist` module export two functions to help to save and restore the `Vfs` state: - `save_to_bytes`, which save the mete data of the `Vfs` struct into a byte array; - `restore_from_bytes`, which restore the meta data of the `Vfs` struct from a byte array. As the two above functions only save and restore the vfs meta data, but don't save and restore the backend file systems, this patch also provides a method named `restore_mount` to re-mount the backend file system into the `Vfs` using the same index as before. For more information and usage, please refer to the doc of the `save_to_bytes` and `restore_from_bytes` functions. Signed-off-by: Nan Li <loheagn@icloud.com>
