[zfs-discuss] De-Dupe and iSCSI

[Tiernan OToole]

Good morning all...

Great work on the De-Dupe stuff. cant wait to try it out. but quick question
about iSCSI and De-Dupe. will it work? if i share out a ZVOL to another
machine and copy some simular files to it (thinking VMs) will they get
de-duplicated?

Thanks.

It works but how much benefit you will get from it, since it is block 
not file based, depends on what type of filesystem and/or application is 
on the iSCSI target.
