I am becoming increasingly confused. Since [`coreutils` has used `FICLONE` since version 8.26](http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/tree/src/copy.c?h=v8.26#n327), and if `FICLONE` as you say uses `copy_file_range`, then does not `cp` indirectly but effectively invoke `copy_file_range`?

Oops. I'm afraid that I fall far short of a compiler's capabilities with respect to consistently avoiding the conflation of non-identical symbol names. Then, do I understand correctly the following?:...

In order for it to be possible to support reference-linked style copies in gocryptfs, what first needs to change outside of gocryptfs (e.g. kernel, FUSE), and what can gocryptfs users...

My question relates to support with existing userspace tools, such as the copy command with the reflink feature. (See original comment.)

For example, if the current directory is on a btrfs mount, then the following command makes a lightweight (CoW) copy of file `a`: ~~~ % cp --reflink=auto a b ~~~...

In any case, it is good to keep the issue open, even if other issues currently take greater priority. I doubt little that as filesystems continue to improve, newer designs...

Has the feasibility or interest in this feature improved since the last time of discussion? To be clear the request is that when existing userspace tools request a lightweight copy...

Trying to keep this feature open for consideration, I am continuing to add comments. What is the main obstacle, if any currently exists, external to the project, that would prevent...

A *favorites* or *recents* list is probably more functionality than needed for a first iteration of such a feature, and is probably more suitable when interacting with complementary functionality on...

I am considering attempting some work to expand the project, though I make no promises. Having considered the project broadly, I emphasize the following three closely-related directions for improvement: 1....
