Is sharing same files between VEs possible with simfs? [message #26290]

Hi, i'd like to initialy clone some VE private area with rsync
using the --link-dest= option for hard linking so that to VE with same unmodified file will actually use same inode and save space.
The question is will it work correctly with simfs? Meaning that
if one VE modifies some shared file data inode this inode will be cloned with modifications, and the original inode link count will be reduced. Or will the original node be modified thus affecting all VEs sharing the file?

Thanks
Alex
