Re: definiing deduplication (was: Re: deduplicating file systems: VDO with Debian?)

I don't think it was, see https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/zfs/

I does mention performance, but I remember other statements saying that was
designed for arrays with 40+ disks and, besides data integrity, with ease of use
in mind.  Performance doesn't seem paramount.  Also see
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ZFS

Well, the question is what you mean by performance.  Maybe ZFS can deduplicate
faster than VDO, but eating tons of RAM and/or having to replace all the
hardware may not be a kind of performance one would be looking for.

My bad: I'm french and my english is not as fluent as I would like it to be ;-)

I was using the word "performance" here as I would have in french (same word), thinking of technical abilities (speed, scalability and so on) without realizing that in english in the particular context of computer science that means primarily speed (if I understand correctly) :-)
