 raitobezarius | * btrfs is CoW & compressed | 23:24:48 |
| raitobezarius | * btrfs is CoW & [inline] compressed | 23:24:53 |
| raitobezarius | but btrfs knows much better than us | 23:25:06 |
 neobrain | oh interesting. Compression makes a lot of sense. How does CoW influence this? | 23:25:46 |
| raitobezarius | if 2 inodes are CoWed and lix removes them [while they're not hardlinked], lix will count them twice but btrfs will deduce once I suppose? | 23:26:26 |
| raitobezarius | if the CoW is transparent via reflinking, maybe we could know but I don't know off my head whether this is the case | 23:27:15 |
| neobrain | That's deduplication, right? I assumed that only happened after user request | 23:27:27 |
| neobrain | * That's deduplication, right? I assumed that only happened after user request since btrfs doesn't do it automatically | 23:27:56 |
| raitobezarius | indeed, if reflinkage only happens upon demand, then, CoW doesn't influence this | 23:28:01 |
| raitobezarius | but as a user you may try to run automatic large scale reflinkage | 23:30:00 |
| raitobezarius | without us knowing it | 23:30:05 |
