April 13, 20179 yr I have 3 HD, all using btrfs. When I copy folders from download share to TV share I get the usual ~100mb/s copy speed. I thought that it was supposed to be "instant" because of CoW...? I've tried to copy from disk1/download to disk1/TV but the same thing happens. (I know CoW doesn't work between disks obviously). Can anyone explain to me why this isn't working like I thought it would?
April 13, 20179 yr Community Expert How are you copying? It will only work like that with cp --reflink, e.g.: cp --reflink /mnt/disk1/Downloads/file.mkv /mnt/disk1/TV/file.mkv
April 13, 20179 yr Author Thank you!! I didn't know I had to use --reflink. I thought CoW was the default behaviour. Have a great weekend and thank you so much
