Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Fwd: poor zfs compression ratio

2011-11-02 Thread Dan Swartzendruber
Not to nitpick, but dedup isn't really compression in one significant respect. e.g. you can have 3 copies of the same data chunk and it is only stored as one (effectively a compression ratio of 4:1), even if the data in question is uncompressible (due to already being compressed.)
