Hi all,
Now that the Fishworks 2010.Q1 release seems to get deduplication, does
anyone know if bugid: 6924824 (destroying a dedup-enabled dataset bricks
system) is still valid, it has not been fixed in in onnv and it is not
mentioned in the release notes.
This is one of the bugs i've been keeping my eyes on before using dedup for
any serious work, so I was a but surprised to see that it was in the 2010Q1
release but not fixed in ON. It might not be an issue, just curious, both
from a fishworks perspective and from a OpenSolaris perspective.
Regards
Henrik

My rep says "Use dedupe at your own risk at this time".
Guess they've been seeing a lot of issues, and regardless if its
'supported' or not, he said not to use it.
So its not a feature, its a bug. They should release some official statement
if they are going to have the sales reps saying that. Either it works or it
doesn't and if it doesn't, then all parts of Oracle should be saying the same
thing, not just after they have your money (oh btw, that dedup thing...).
As discussed in a couple other threads, if Oracle wants to treat the fishworks
boxes like closed appliances, then it should "just work" and if it doesn't
then it should be treated like a toaster that doesn't work and they should
take it back. They seem to want to sell them with the benefits of being closed
for them - you shouldn't use the command line, etc but then act like your
unique workload/environment is somehow causing them to break when they break.
If they seal the box and put 5 knobs on the outside, don't blame the customer
when they turn all the knobs to 10 and the box doesn't work. Take the box
back, remove the knobs or fix the guts so all the knobs work as advertised.
