Hello;
How do we dedup existing data?
Currently by running a zfs send | zfs recv.
Will a ZFS send to an output file in a temporary staging area in the
same pool and a subsequent reconstruct (zfs receive) from the file be
sufficient?
Yes but you can avoid the temp file and just do zfs send | zfs recv.
Or do I have to completely move the data out of the pool and back in again?
That is what zfs send and recv actually does.
