I wish I could share a glowing experience with dedupfs, but unfortunately for me in my tests - it crashed several times and just did not behave as expected and I gave up on it (my experience is at least 1 year old - I'm sure a lot has changed). It does sound nice on the paper, I'd suggest trying this out on junk data just to see how it works out for you. And please share your experience with us.
I had no experience with LessFS.

I know I've got about a TB of duplication, at least. And it is not easy to remove manually. Google lands me LessFS and SDFS as the prime candidates. I'm running RHEL5.8 if that matters. thanks, -Alan -- "Don't eat anything you've ever seen advertised on TV" - Michael Pollan, author of "In Defense of Food" _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list rhelv5-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list rhelv5-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
