BTW my all questions sent to this ML is *totally* unrelated to Red Hat.
Probably I should use different email address from the next.
I'm just interested in distributed filesystem, since I was the Lustre, the GPFS guy for a long period and now the Ceph.

I read [1] and [2] and do understood Greg's comment [3].
If I've missed nothing, there is no discussion about deduplication feature (NOT dedumplication or dumpling) except [1] and there is no that feature in the Ceph and no consideration about that feature.

Some enterprise people want this feature [4].
There should be any kind of consideration on the sly, I guess.

Yeah, you're right.

Finally nobody wants *Russian roulette* -;
