The video from my talk at LCA 2018 yesterday about the XFS subvolume and
snapshot support I'm working on has been uploaded and can be found
here:

I don't have the code in a reviewable form yet - there's still quite
a bit of work before I get to that point, but this is a good
introduction to how all the pieces will fit together....
Great talk!

I'm pretty sure it's hard to add, but cross-subvolume reflinks would be
something useful for my use case.
That's not going to happen. reflinks across subvolumes (i.e. across
independent filesystems) will return -EXDEV. If you want subvolumes
to share data blocks of independent ancestry, then you can run
deduplication operations on the image files.

Cheers,

Dave.
