Hello, Has anyone (possibly except purestorage) managed to make target work with deduplication? When using VMware there is lots of storage wasted as many vm's contain largely the same OS. Previous research shows that you could easily save a lot of space. Yet there are no public successes out there. The state of art that I can think of is using a recent kernel and btrfs which is claimed to get more and more stable. This means making a filesystem and using fileio to map to a disk image on the filesystem. ZFS is obviously another way to get the same but comes at a cost of large memory consumption. Are there any other alternatives to this? Anyone tried it in production? -- Henrik -- This message is produced and distributed by X-Formation: X-Formation Denmark ApS, Sioevaenget 18, 8381 Tilst, Denmark X-Formation Poland Sp. z o.o., ul.
