The dedupe feature hasn't been ...Good question. The dedupe feature hasn't been released to any "stable" Solaris build yet, so they released it to their developer track early. You could say "too early", but I think it has been good for them.<br /><br />I have no insight into how Sun/Oracle does their work, but I do see most of the bugs being fixed and a general attention to getting things right. It's an impressive group of engineers. Their bugs are public: <br /><br />http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/search.do?process=1&type=&bugStatus=&keyword=&textSearch=dedup&perPage=10&sortBy=date<br /><br />So I don't think this is some sort of neglected project, by any means. From what I've heard, they are working furiously to stabilize the dedup feature for inclusion in the main Solaris build, and this is taking some time to get right. <br /><br />I'm not sure what impact the Oracle acquisition has had on the development builds, though Oracle has committed to fully continuing work on this project.<br /><br />I think the ZFS product is really incredible, it's just a bit inconvenient to be on the bleeding edge all the time.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00058296587455402398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6275903.post-63608771948226573132010-07-05T00:17:25.037-07:002010-07-05T00:17:25.037-07:00If the main(?) point of going the zfs/open solaris...If the main(?) point of going the zfs/open solaris route for your NAS is extreme robustness and reliability, how come long-standing, slow-to-be-fixed, bugs in a feature of the FS don't make you nervous, even if it's "just" performance bugs, not data loss bugs?<br /><br />(I ask since I'm intrigued by this option for myself, but your experience above makes me a little skeptical.)<br /><br />-mattUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17973887488671745974noreply@blogger.com
