As noted, the ratio caclulation applies over the data attempted to dedup, not the whole pool. However, I saw a commit go by just in the last couple of days about the dedupratio calculation being misleading, though I didn't check the details. Presumably this will be reported differently from the

On Opensolaris build 134, upgraded from older versions, I have an rpool for which I had switch on dedup for a few weeks. After that I switched to back on. Now it seems the dedup ratio is stuck at a value of 1.68. Even when I copy more then 90 GB of data it still remains at 1.68. Any ideas ?
