So Jeff, Bill and team (I know you are on this list), is there any reason ZFS deduplication project isn't run as OpenSolaris project ? With code repository, mailing list and all the other things publicly available. That way the development process becomes transparent and community members may contribute as well (if they choose/want to).
This is the first I have heard about a ZFS deduplication project. Is there a public anouncement (from Sun) somewhere that there is a ZFS deduplication project or are you just speculating that there might be such a project?
My own priority for ZFS development is that ZFS should not be 4X slower at accessing a file if it has been accessed (a long time) before, or 8X slower if it has been accessed (a long time) before and also mmap()ed. Other people have posted performance gripes about resilver times and zfs send. To me, getting existing features to operate in a stellar fashion is more important than adding new features.
