Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist * Package name : vdo Version : 6.1.1.24 Upstream Author : https://github.com/dm-vdo/vdo/blob/master/CONTRIBUTORS.txt * URL : https://github.com/dm-vdo/vdo/ * License : GPL Programming Lang: C, python Description : set of userspace tools for managing pools of deduplicated and/or compressed block storage
VDO (which includes kvdo and vdo) is software that provides inline block-level deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning capabilities for primary storage. VDO installs within the Linux device mapper framework, where it takes ownership of existing physical block devices and remaps these to new, higher-level block devices with data-efficiency capabilities. Note that this requires (currently) out-of-tree kernel modules (https://github.com/dm-vdo/kvdo), these could be packaged with dkms or wait that they hit mainline
