For a long time, ZFS has been missing support for reflinks found in other filesystems like Btrfs and XFS.
That all changes now! OpenZFS 2.2.0 is introducing CoW reflinks to ZFS.
In this video, I talk about what this means, as well as some of the limitations when it comes to links across datasets.
One of the original issues on GitHub for reflink support:
github.com/ope...
Pull request bringing in block cloning:
github.com/ope...
Pull request bringing the changes to Linux:
github.com/ope...
ZFS releases:

Let me know if you're interested in this being a recurring type of video with a bi-weekly/monthly open-source news show or something along those lines!
