Oops! I was sure I had subscribed to that new list. I've done so again in any case. Patches should still go to bug-coreutils@gnu.org BTW. I'm just catching up on work after holidays, but a quick note Re: `cp --reflink` We were trying to come up with a generic term for the CoW feature. For BTRFS, `cp` currently needs to copy attributes explicitly, but for OCFS2 we can just do the reflink and not bother with all the attribute copying. The interface is fine as is I think. If there is a generic interface for CoW in future, we can use that. cheers, Pádraig.
