Based on everything you said, you are definitely being hurt by dedup. You should definitely disable it if possible. Start by simply disabling it, so any new stuff will stop using it. As for migration ... As mentioned, there are the disruptive ways etc.... But ... The only nondisruptive way that I know, may or may not be acceptable to you... May be acceptable only for certain subdirs... Become root mkdir temp gtar cpf - somedir | (cd temp ; gtar xpf -) mv somedir somedir-old && mv temp/somedir somedir && rm -rf somedir-old temp Obviously, if you do this, you're assuming there are no open filehandles etc that would prevent you from being able to do this on somedir... You're assuming somedir is static for the interim... It's only nondisruptive if you can make such assumptions safely. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
