A good place to review before you begin testing the new dedup features
in the Nevada release is the ZFS dedup FAQ, which includes a list of
known issues:

I am under the impression that dedupe is still only in OpenSolaris and
that support for dedupe is limited or non existent. Is this true? I
would like to use ZFS and the dedupe capability to store multiple
virtual machine images. The problem is that this will be in a
production environment and would probably call for Solaris 10 instead
of OpenSolaris. Are my statements on this valid or am I off track?
If dedup gets scheduled for Solaris 10 (I don't know), it would surely
not be available until at least a year from now.
Dedup in OpenSolaris still seems risky to use other than for
experimental purposes. It has only recently become available.
