Subject: Re: Copying Data Blocks

Hi Peter,

As our work veery tightly couples with the FS for our intial
implementation and we are working around with the inodes, we will
require to work at the filesystem level itself.
Though it may not be very feasible, but we will try to push everything
to the blockdev level once our base system is up and running.

Thanks a lot for your finding, I went through it and found that it
will be useful, but with some kind of tweaking around here and there.

We have taken note of the links that you have provided.

Thanks again.
