Copy/move between shares is sloooooooooooow...

For posterity, the post from that thread reads:

That allows you to control snapshots on a share-by-share basis. A direct consequence is that moving files from one share to another is done as a copy/delete - the same as moving files between two disks on a PC. Well, not exactly. You can "instantly" copy files around between subvolumes using cp --reflink, and then remove the original. So, to move a file from the Backup share to the Documents share, you could do: # cp -a --reflink /data/Backup/file /data/Documents/ # rm /data/Backup/file

Seriously? Really?!

So which folder should I put my downloads into? Transmission downloads to the /data/Downloads/ share on my system.

Now I have to move all files using an SSH terminal? All because I am using the /data/Videos /data/Music /data/Pictures shares that were there out of the box...?

On the NV+, I could of course map to /c/ and use this to move between shares. I had assumed this was the case with the 104 - simply map to /data/

How can it be acceptable that ordinary move operations are not possible on this device? What is being done to address this? Aside from forcing users to use a single share? The fact that BTRFS has this limitation is irrelevant - I need to be able to move large files without coping them...!
