1 Hi list!

3 I just noticed that cp doesn't use btrfs' capabilities to do lazy copies
4 (a.k.a. copy on write) unless you specify --reflink=auto.
5
6 For my console needs, I could specify an alias but I don't see why
7 scripts shouldn't use the option as well. Is there an environment
8 variable to control cp like there is for less, gzip and friends?

10 Thanks in advance!
