I did some further research (with all details here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/65518879/133374). See vfs_copy_file_range in the Linux kernel. This first tries to call remap_file_range if possible. FICLONE calls ioctl_file_clone. ioctl_file_clone calls vfs_clone_file_range. vfs_clone_file_range calls remap_file_range. I.e. FICLONE == remap_file_range. So using copy_file_range (if available) should be the most generic solution, which includes copy-on-write support, and server-side copy support. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue37157> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
