Some issues regarding ZFS dedup to keep in mind: * Dedup will go slowly unless you have enough RAM to hold every hash for every block you are deduping * Compression, instead of dedup, can result in higher throughput (compression and decompression is faster than writing/reading the larger amount of data to/from HDD) * The OpenZFS (http://open-zfs.org/) project holds good potential for ZFS on Linux -- Dan Langille - http://langille.org/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ October Webinars: Code for Performance Free Intel webinars can help you accelerate application performance.
