--- Comment #16 from Gábor Nyers
A file with the 'C' attribute set will not be subject to copy-on- write updates. This flag is only supported on file systems which perform copy-on-write. (Note: For btrfs, the 'C' flag should be set on new or empty files. If it is set on a file which already has data blocks, it is undefined when the blocks assigned to the file will be fully stable. If the 'C' flag is set on a directory, it will have no effect on the directory, but new files created in that directory will the No_COW attribute.)
Would be interesting to know the reason... incomplete implementation or a more fundamental problem? Anyway, I tried and can confirm. Also, a way to shortcut the need to flag files individually with the "C" attribute would be to do this on the directory. All newly created files will inherit it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
