Hi,
Say I download a large file from the net to /mnt/a.iso. I then download
the same file again to /mnt/b.iso. These files now have the same
content, but are stored twice since the copies weren't made with the bcp
utility.
The same occurs if a directory tree with duplicate files (created with

Would you suggest using the existing chattr/lsattr commands from
e2fsprogs for userspace control and just add support at the kernel
level?
Miguel suggested this be done at the volume level. Do you have any
thoughts on that?
Thanks,

Hey,
I thought it would be a good time good to play around a bit with btrfs
in the usual hotplug setup, so we can - if needed - adapt things
