Another RFE would be 'zfs dedup mypool/somefs' and basically go through and do a one-shot dedup. Would be useful in various scenarios. Possibly go through the entire pool at once, to make dedups intra-datasets (like "the real thing"). /Tomas -- Tomas Forsman, st...@acc.umu.se, http://www.acc.umu.se/~stric/ |- Student at Computing Science, University of Umeå `- Sysadmin at {cs,acc}.umu.se _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
