ZFS Finally Has CoW Reflink Support on Linux!
For a long time, ZFS has been missing support for reflinks found in other filesystems like Btrfs and XFS.
That all changes now! OpenZFS 2.2.0 is introducing CoW reflinks to ZFS.
In this video, I talk about what this means, as well as some of the limitations when it comes to links across datasets.
