Btrfs currently returns EACCES for non-dir, non-regular destinations which look wrong and I think EINVAL for a mismatch between source and destination types would make most sense. I've also prepared a btrfs patch for this and clone, but I'd like to have consensus on the exact error first. _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
