When it comes out, how will it work?
Does it work at the pool level or a zfs file system level? If I
create a zpool called 'zones' and then I create several zones
underneath that, could I expect to see a lot of disk space savings if
I enable dedup on the pool?
Just curious as to what's coming and what I should look out for.
If it works at the pool level, that'll be very useful and save quite
a disk space on a system with a lot of zones - which share a lot of
common files.
Good question - we don't know just yet. I expect we'll
have a much better idea after Jeff and Bill deliver their
keynote speech at Kernel Conference Australia, which kicks
off on Wednesday.
