Has anyone out there been able to get LessFS running on CentOS 5.7 and
can provide some pointers?
If not LessFS can you suggest an alternate deduplication software

I hope you know, dedup systems rarely scale well, as the

The ZFSonlinux project from LLNL looks promising (native mode kernel

I had considered this but I have been avoiding it. All our production
