Hi, I BFUd successfully snv_128 over snv_125:

Assembled 05 October 2009 # uname -a SunOS cheeky 5.11 snv_128 i86pc i386 i86pc ... being impatient to test zfs dedup. I was able to set dedup=on (I presume with the default sha256 key) on a few filesystems and did the following trivial test (this is an edited script session): Script started on Wed Oct 28 09:38:38 2009 # zfs get dedup rpool/export/home NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home dedup on local # for i in 1 2 3 4 5 ; do mkdir /export/home/d${i} && df -k /export/home/d${i} && zfs get used rpool/export/home && cp /testfile /export/home/d${i}; done Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/export/home 17418240 27 6063425 1% /export/home NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home used 27K - Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/export/home 17515512 103523 6057381 2% /export/home NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home used 102M - Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/export/home 17682840 271077 6056843 5% /export/home NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home used 268M - Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/export/home 17852184 442345 6054919 7% /export/home NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home used 432M - Filesystem kbytes used avail capacity Mounted on rpool/export/home 17996580 587996 6053933 9% /export/home NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home used 574M - # zfs get all rpool/export/home NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home type filesystem - rpool/export/home creation Mon Sep 21 9:27 2009 - rpool/export/home used 731M - rpool/export/home available 5.77G - rpool/export/home referenced 731M - rpool/export/home compressratio 1.00x - rpool/export/home mounted yes - rpool/export/home quota none default rpool/export/home reservation none default rpool/export/home recordsize 128K default rpool/export/home mountpoint /export/home inherited from rpool/export rpool/export/home sharenfs off default rpool/export/home checksum on default rpool/export/home compression off default rpool/export/home atime on default rpool/export/home devices on default rpool/export/home exec on default rpool/export/home setuid on default rpool/export/home readonly off default rpool/export/home zoned off default rpool/export/home snapdir hidden default rpool/export/home aclmode groupmask default rpool/export/home aclinherit restricted default rpool/export/home canmount on default rpool/export/home shareiscsi off default rpool/export/home xattr on default rpool/export/home copies 1 default rpool/export/home version 4 - rpool/export/home utf8only off - rpool/export/home normalization none - rpool/export/home casesensitivity sensitive - rpool/export/home vscan off default rpool/export/home nbmand off default rpool/export/home sharesmb off default rpool/export/home refquota none default rpool/export/home refreservation none default rpool/export/home primarycache all default rpool/export/home secondarycache all default rpool/export/home usedbysnapshots 0 - rpool/export/home usedbydataset 731M - rpool/export/home usedbychildren 0 - rpool/export/home usedbyrefreservation 0 - rpool/export/home logbias latency default rpool/export/home dedup on local rpool/export/home mlslabel none default # ls -l /export/home/d? /export/home/d1: total 299237 -rw-r----- 1 root root 152993234 Oct 28 09:41 testfile /export/home/d2: total 299237 -rw-r----- 1 root root 152993234 Oct 28 09:41 testfile /export/home/d3: total 299237 -rw-r----- 1 root root 152993234 Oct 28 09:42 testfile /export/home/d4: total 299237 -rw-r----- 1 root root 152993234 Oct 28 09:42 testfile /export/home/d5: total 299237 -rw-r----- 1 root root 152993234 Oct 28 09:42 testfile # sync # sync # zfs get dedup,used rpool/export/home NAME PROPERTY VALUE SOURCE rpool/export/home dedup on local rpool/export/home used 731M - # script done on Wed Oct 28 09:44:16 2009 By the look of it, nothing happens. Is there anything else to do to enable the dedup, or I am completely misunderstanding the way it should be working?
