Actually, I'm hoping that Jeff and Bill will have integrated ZFS Deduplication into NV before they get on the plane to come over here for KCA. We'll just have to wait and see :-) Either way, whenever they integrate it into NV, it'll be in the next build of SXCE and should show up in OpenSolaris' dev repo shortly afterwards. There won't be another OpenSolaris _release_ this year after 2009.06. Cheers, James C.
