btrfs only fails when you have hundreds of hardlinks to the same file
in the *same* directory ... certainly not a standard use case.
use snapshots to your advantage:

- rsync --inplace source to target (with some other opts that have
been discussed on list)
- snap target
- {rinse-and-repeat-in-24-hrs}
