@ -183,12 +183,10 @@ The copy_up operation essentially creates a new, identical file and
moves it over to the old name. The new file may be on a different
filesystem, so both st_dev and st_ino of the file may change.
Any open files referring to this inode will access the old data and
metadata. Similarly any file locks obtained before copy_up will not
apply to the copied up file.
Any open files referring to this inode will access the old data.
On a file opened with O_RDONLY fchmod(2), fchown(2), futimesat(2) and
fsetxattr(2) will fail with EROFS.
Any file locks (and leases) obtained before copy_up will not apply
to the copied up file.
If a file with multiple hard links is copied up, then this will
"break" the link. Changes will not be propagated to other names
