Thanks. Hm, in other words, if Server 2012 would present this as the actually file instead, it would.

Januar 2014 18:04 To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] Server 2012 Deduplication Correct, ConfigMgr 2012 doesn’t support reparse points (which server 2012 de-dupe creates). The issues can mostly be seen when importing drivers from a de-dupe enabled drive where the driver packs have file overlap (and therefore the reparse points are created to de-dupe the contents of said driver packs.) So it’s not currently supported.

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: <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] [ <mailto:[email protected]> mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Wallace Sent: Montag, 20.
