I've been trying to keep up with the latest news on ZFS and deduplication, and unfortunately there's not much news out there and this thread happens to contain the most recent information on the subject. That being said, I found an article that mentioned the following (http://www.technologyandbusiness.com.au/server-hardware-software/News/Sun-shines-more-light-on-Open-Source-Kernels.aspx) -
"Sun Microsystems will hold its first-ever Australian Kernel conference in July this year that will examine any open source kernels and technologies within those kernels. ... Sun Microsystems? Sun Fellow and Vice President, Jeff Bonwick and Distinguished Engineer Bill Moore will present the opening keynote for the conference, titled 'Deduplication in ZFS,' which will likely include a live demonstration." According to http://au.sun.com/sunnews/events/2009/kernel/, the above mentioned conference will be held in Brisbane, Australia, from July 15th to 17th, 2009. Hopefully deduplication will come to SXCE shortly thereafter, and maybe we'll see it in a second OpenSolaris release this year after 2009.06 is released. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org
