Hi, The duperemove[1] tool is in the process for packaging for Fedora at present but I was wondering what future this may have with the 4.5 dedup patches being proposed. WIll the btrfs command have the ability to out-of-line dedup files similar to duperemove (thus negating the need for it) or will this only control in-line dedup with a tool like duperemove still being required for periodic only (or restricted path) dedup? To avoid memory usage bloat if the btrfs command can order dedup of X files on the path correctly can it be passed a path to carry the hash map in some form (similar to how dupeemeove can use sqlite for this) or is this another use case for the external tool? Finally what's the present situation with regards to defragmentation and deduplication? Is it safe to turn on autodefrag now when using snapshots and duperemove? What should the behaviour be with the proposed 4.5 dedup patches if both inline dedup and autodefrag are enabled as mount options?
