fl-cow

copy-on-write utility

Fl-cow allows you to utilise hard links to save disk space by causing hard-linked files to be copied rather than overwritten as they are changed. This is useful for making changes to large source trees while keeping a copy of the original tree to generate patches from. Also, if you are using the Arch revision control system with working copies hard-linked to a revision library, using fl-cow can prevent revision library corruption. Fl-cow is an LD_PRELOAD hack, not a kernel patch.

Install the latest version of cow in Debian, Ubuntu, Kali and Raspbian from terminal. To install the cow just copy the above command for your OS and run into terminal. After you run the command it will grab the latest version of cow from the respository and install it in your computer/server.
