We already have a debate about this "cross-link device":
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/9864

"cp --reflink" will use clone feature, which can share data among files, but metadata is preserved individually.

My case is that I can mount both a subvolume and a snapshot via "-o subvol=xxx" or "-o subvolid=xxx".
