Actually, it works. Because the whole destination cluster is marked dirty, all of it is ultimately copied correctly. The special handling of COW is required for all others sources of dirty data, where the dirty bitmap can include a subset of a destination cluster, but not in this case. I'll include the testcase, and test the patch I attached to my previous message. Paolo
