Btrfs disable copy on write (cow) for virtual machine disks

In files like vmware virtual disks (vmdk files) is common to disable copy on write (cow) on btrfs filesystems to avoid system slow response due to heavy I/O on disks.

You can verify if a file have disabled the copy on write using lsattr command. If you see a C on the file attributes the copy on write is disabled.
