[zfs-discuss] copies=2 and dedup

2010-02-27 Thread Dick Hoogendijk
I want zfs on a single drive so I use copies=2 for -some- extra safety. But I wonder if dedup=on could mean something in this case too? That way the same blocks would never be written more than twice. Or would that harm the reliability of the drive and should I just use copies=2? -- Dick Hooge
