[storage][file_systems] List of file systems that support reference links #1037

Open LukeShortCloud opened 1 year ago

Even if a file system supports copy-on-write for snapshots, it may not support reference links for individual files (such as ZFS).

Supports reference links = APFS, Bcachefs, Btrfs, and XFS Does not support reference links = HFS+, NTFS, and ZFS
