Could I enquire about the severity of a few issues?

Regard

Chris

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.  They
initially found a few issues, but these days the QA teams finds
bugs in decade old XFS code but not related to reflinks..

You're mileage my vary, but I think we should be able to drop the
experimental tag now.
