Copy Offloading

Explore efficient data copying methods in file systems and storage stacks during this 36-minute conference talk from the Linux Plumbers Conference. Dive into file-system specific implementations like btrfs and ocfs2, the NFS protocol version 4.2's file copying operation, and SCSI's copy offloading methods. Learn about the potential for a generic system call interface that could offer a common subset of these features across different systems. Gain insights into the future of data management and storage optimization in Linux environments.
