    rebooting issues, mbuf leaks, panics, and so forth.

    There will be a ton of features in this release, including major
    compiler toolchain updates, better acpi, better swapcache, PF upgrade,
    HAMMER live dedup, and many many other goodies.


I am following development branch should I wait till 23rd to try live
dedup on my backup servers?
Also Both Backup Servers are on different Floors hosting each others
Slave PFSes.
So Will Deduping the Hammer Filesystem on one affect the Slave PFSes
on the other?

I ask this because I have been terribly busy since December and have
not updated the DragonFLY since Dec 6
I am on .9-DEVELOPMENT DragonFly v2.9.1.176.gc94587-DEVELOPMENT #30:
Mon Dec  6 13:34:38 IST 2010
So 'cleanup' in my case I guess is not DeDuping as of now.

Thanks :-)

 DragonFly 2.10, i386, pkgsrc-2011Q1.  I think there's a fix for
 rpm2pkg that is newer than the version of 2011Q1 I used.

That's right, a fix has been committed on April 16.

The dedup code is solid and already used everyday on some machines.
You can enable it already, it won't change in two days.

I don't think hammer deduplication was operational back then. Why not
update to todays version of the 2.10 branch ?

The only issue w/ using dedup is you may need to
upgrade the hammer filesystem to at least version 5.
It's best that all mirrors be running the same version.

If you update to version 6 and use mirroring then
both sides have to be version 6 for sure because
the directory hash algorithm changes.

That's the only issue w/ regards to upgrading.

Hammer deduplication needs for RAM size

2011-04-21 Thread Tomas Bodzar
Hi all,

can someone compare/describe need of RAM size by deduplication in
Hammer? There's something interesting about deduplication in ZFS
http://openindiana.org/pipermail/openindiana-discuss/2011-April/003574.html

Thx
