I've got a project where being able to take COW copies of a VMs disc would be really useful (disc snapshots to be then archived off elsewhere) How stable is the the experimental reflinks feature and do you have any idea when it might be declared stable?I've got a customer that heavily uses (and tests) reflinks.
