[Ocfs2-users] reflink status
Hi! What do I need to use reflinks on OCFS2 1.6? coreutils 8.4's cp --reflink=always doesn't seem too work. I found http://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=jlbec/reflink.git;a=shortlog and http://oss.oracle.com/~smushran/reflink-tools/ Both contain a patched and outdated coreutils package. Are there any plans to merge it upstream? -- Thanks, //richard ___ Ocfs2-users mailing list Ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users
Re: [Ocfs2-users] reflink status
First we have to get the new syscall added to the kernel. The first attempt failed because people overloaded the call with extraneous stuff. Recently there is another attempt to go back to the original proposal. Hopefully, next kernel release. The reflink utility should work. So what it is based on an older coreutils. It is derived from the hard link (ln) utility. On 12/17/2011 4:15 AM, richard -rw- weinberger wrote: Hi!

So, building it from http://oss.oracle.com/git/?p=jlbec/reflink.git;a=shortlog via reflink.spec is the way to go? -- Thanks, //richard ___ Ocfs2-users mailing list Ocfs2-users@oss.oracle.com http://oss.oracle.com/mailman/listinfo/ocfs2-users

Okay. Can you please fix the spec file?
It's broken.
