--- Comment #6 from Brian J. Murrell <[email protected]> ---
Does this --reflink feature have any parity/functionality with --link-dest,
which is often used in "snapshot" style [i.e. daily] backup scripts on
non-snapshottable  filesystems such as XFS?

XFS supports COW reflinks but not snapshots and as such rsync --link-dest is
more appropriate for creating new backups.
