Hi,

If I have a snapshot where I overwrite a big file but which only a
small portion of it is different, will the whole file be rewritten in
the snapshot? Or only the different part of the file?

Something like:

$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/big_file bs=1M count=1024
$ cp /big_file root/
$ btrfs sub snap root snapshot
$ cp /big_file snapshot/

In this case is root/big_file and snapshot/big_file still share the same data?

Thank you
