I think data deduplication / CoW / reflink copy is better implemented via FICLONE. "cp --reflink" uses it, I presume because it's older than copy_file_range(). I have a working patch adding CoW copy support for Linux and OSX (but not Windows). I think that should be exposed as a separate shutil.reflink() though, and copyfile() should just do a standard copy. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue26826> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
