Subject: Cross-subvolume reflink copy (BTRFS_IOC_CLONE over subvolume boundaries)
Date: Tue, 14 Feb 2012 00:52:33 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2704295.VfXjvSRAYV@bursa01> (raw)

It's been nearly a year since the patches needed to implement a reflink=
ed copy=20
between subvolumes have been posted=20
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/9865 ) and I =
still=20
get "Invalid cross-device link" error with Linux 3.2.4 while I try to d=
o a cp=20
--reflink between subvolumes.

This is a *very* useful feature to have (think offline file-level dedup=
lication=20
for one thing).

=46rom what I was able to find in the archives, the only objection (use=
rland=20
operation crossing subvolume boundaries) was rebutted by Chris Mason.=20

Is there something else that I missed?

Regards,
