I must have missed your messages on deduplication. But did you see this thread on it? "zfs space efficiency", 6/24 - 7/7? We've been thinking about ZFS dedup for some time, and want to do it but have other priorities at the moment. > Hmmm... I just ran into another snag with this.

The only reason we don't support that is because we haven't gotten around to adding the special cases and error checking for it (and I think you're the first person to notice its omission). But it's actually in the works now so stay tuned for an update in a few months. --matt _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
