There is a known issue with 2012 disk de-deup on the sccmcontentlib, Russ Rimmerman posted on it on this list a while back (I think). It has to do with symbolic links which ConfigMgr does make use of in the contentlib for certain content types.

I thought that my comment was pretty explicit that I was referring to DPs only. As for supportability I am pretty sure that there would not have been a test plan to test the interaction - ergo there would be no support for it. As far as I know, and having asked the question directly before this should not work although not tested it myself.

CM12: file based only, the exact same file twice is stored once only but for the library only. Server2012: Content based and for the whole volume, also works e.g. with VHDs. Use Dedup for example on the source folder of the packages… I use it also for the content library, it squeezes even more out of it. -R From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Wallace Sent: Montag, 20.
