And then you have to extend the system call table so that cp and other
programs can acually do this kind of thing. Not going to happen, I
don't think.
In any case, I don't think James was suggesting that cp would actually
have to be modified but rather that, like Hammer2, a filesystem could
deduplicate incoming writes (from cp(1) or wherever) against any data
it had already loaded off the disk(s).
