How can this be? If zfs send -D does not use the same DDT as the pool, then it must require memory for its own DDT. But Richard, the second half of your answer seems to contradict this. Perhaps you are denying that the extra memory usage impacts performance of the system? > If you have a deduped pool on both ends of the send, does -D make any > difference? > > If neither pool is deduped, does -D make a difference? Yes. If the originating pool is dedup'd on disk, then it's just dedup'd on disk. And if the recipient pool is dedup'd on disk, then it's just dedup'd on disk. In either case, traditionally the data would not be dedup'd in transit (zfs send.) zfs send -D only causes the data to be dedup'd in the data stream from the sender to the receiver. This presumably saves network bandwidth and accelerates the network traffic. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
