Thanks @JoaoJandre, I got your point. I'm not sure about the space saving part, but I do believe the default behaviour should remain a proper link clone implementation, further as you identified it's already consolidating on other storage types, maybe we should look into fixing their cases to utilise link clone instead of consolidating and turning it into de facto full clone. to build a consensus, may I suggest we have this as alternative behaviour toggled by a global setting, with the idea that the default behaviour would refer to using link clones with backing files as a user would normally assume. Therefore it will serve both cases, since we don't want to assume how operators run their clouds. Regards, Bobby. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
