The two sides of reflink()The two sides of reflink()Posted May 5, 2009 22:34 UTC (Tue) by ikm (subscriber, #493)Parent article: The two sides of reflink()
What seems to be an omission in this article is some background information on why this was called for in the first place.

I wasn't referring to the uses, but rather to a history of the whole thing.
