A reflink creates a snapshot of a file, that means the attributes must be identical except for three exceptions - nlink, ino, and ctime. As for time changes, Here is a brief description: 1. Source file: 1) atime: Ignore. Let the lazy atime code handle that. 2) mtime: don't touch. 3) ctime: If we change the tree (adding REFCOUNTED to at least one extent), update it. 2. Destination file: 1) atime: ignore. 2) mtime: we want it to appear identical to the source. 3) ctime: update. The idea here is that an ls -l will show the same time for the src and target - it shows mtime. Backup software like rsync and tar will treat the new file correctly too.
