Re: revisiting "Hard link across subvolumes"

The link across subvolumes is not allowable.  In the beginning it was
possible, but that was source of bugs. See the thread "Hard link across
subvolumes"

http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs <at> vger.kernel.org/msg03286.html

Similar for cp --reflink across subvolumes - also won't work.

If btrfs is to support deduplication one day, it has to work across subvolumes - otherwise, it won't be very useful.
