Abstract: The described embodiments set forth techniques for performing live updates to file system volumes (e.g., operating system (OS) file system volumes) of computing devices through the utilization of snapshots. In particular, the techniques enable a computing device to remain active while a majority of an update process is performed, which eliminates the considerable functional downtime that is normally imposed when implementing conventional update techniques. Moreover, the overall robustness of the update process is enhanced as the techniques described herein reduce the amount of time that is required for the computing device to remain in the above-described specialized update mode.
