Duperemove is actually what I am testing. I also plan on testing SDFS - opendedup again! They have some development since the last time I tried, Not a fan of having to use Java though! > Second, as you've done some research already you're likely aware of this, > but just in case, let me give you the link to the wiki.

One of my faves is: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Btrfs It will be interesting on what happens. I rsync'd the clients data from a 2TB mdadm RAID to a standard 3TB BtrFS drive, Currently running Duperemove on it. I reckon it will take days but it will be interesting to see what happens. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
