This uses reflinks, right? I've been experimenting with using reflinks under Linux to speed up layer extraction for Docker, it's great.

  It uses APFS clones

    Struggling to find the effective difference between the two, other than it being Apple specific. Either way, neat - I can hopefully use this to provide faster layer unpacks on MacOS as well.

      Yup that’s pretty much it, reflinks is Btrfs/XFS, clones is APFS, but the concept is the same (CoW in both cases).
