Hello,

The following is more of a feature request than problem report, actually.

I've mounted an older snapshot and tried to restore (add it to the current 
filesystem state) by creating a hardlink.
Roughly like:
mount /dev/sdb3 ~/current
mount.nilfs2 /dev/sdb3 ~/old -o ro,cp=1234
cd ~/current
ln ~/old/file.bin ./restored-file.bin

The `ln' returned `Invalid cross-device link'.

I expected such hardlink to have semantics of re-using all the data blocks & 
metadata of file.bin from snapshot as restored-file.bin, so no duplication of 
data blocks happens.


Regards,
