Sorry roy, but reading the post you pointed me "meaning about 1,2GB per 1TB stored on 128kB blocks" I have 1,5TB and 4 Gb of RAM, and not all of this is deduped. Why you say it's *way* too small. It should be *way* enough. >From the performance point of view, it is not a problem, I use that machine to >store backups and using delta-snapshots it transfers a reasonable amount of >data each night. BTW, have you some info about the fact that 2010.WHATEVER will support dedup in a stable way?
Also, you said that should be a very I/O intensive task that blocks my server, but before getting hung iostat and zpool-iostat show very little I/O (about 500 kb/sec) and no CPU usage. Now I started a destroy -r on a deduped dataset about 500Gb, and it crashed. You think it may come up in some days? I have time until monday to test.
