AFAIK it was Hugo that said he looked into that, and that (if I'm
representing it correctly) autodefrag breaks reflinks and triggers space-
using duplication much as defrag does, but that it does it on a much
smaller scale, since it (1) only triggers when some parts of a file are
being rewritten anyway, thus breaking the reflink for those specific
parts of the file due to COW (COW1 on otherwise NOCOW files) in any case,
and (2) unlike defrag, doesn't rewrite and thus break the reflinks on
entire files, just somewhat larger extents than the pure rewrite by
itself without autodefrag would.
Thus making the reflink-breaking and duplication effect of autodefrag
there, but relatively quite small compared to on-demand per-file defrag.
