Neither l1 nor l2 cache is dedup aware.
I haven't read the code, but I can reference experimental results that seem to defy statement... If you time write a large data stream of completely duplicated data to disk without dedup... And time read it back... It takes the same amount of time. But, If you enable dedup and repeat the same test, it goes much faster. Depending on a lot of variables, it might be 2x-12x faster. To me, "significantly faster than disk speed," can only mean it's benefitting from cache. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
