With dedup, will it be possible somehow to identify files that are

But nevertheless I want to keep down the file count.
Based on Jeff and Bill's talk this morning, dedup (v1.0) is initially
based on the block level hashes used within zfs - so data, regardless
of zfs filesystem or zvol within a pool (for those vols/fs' have dedup
enabled) will keep single copies of each block that has the same hash.
Yes, you'd rather not dedup at the file level :-)
