I'm talking about the 4-bit (RGBI) ANSI color palette, used by \e[34;44;94;104m escapes. 8-bit or 24-bit color should not be supported by terminals in the first place (and certainly shouldn't be used by terminal applications), for

We have a common 16-color-to-RGB mechanism: write \e[34m or similar and let the terminal do its damn job.

Well obviously the performance is going to be terrible, but it's probably better than the zero performance you get if you block everything while waiting for the system to fully restore from backup. > what happens when someone runs f

You could also implement this pretty easily in FUSE: if the dirent is present on the underlying (ext or whatever) filesystem, just forward the operations, otherwise leave the syscall blocked and hunt down the relevant backup. I don't k
