Introduction of OpenZFS FastDdupe

The discussion centers around the introduction of OpenZFS FastDdupe, a new version designed to improve on the performance issues found in its predecessor, Legacy D-Dup. While the Legacy D-Dup was deemed ineffective and unworthy of use, Fast D-Dup shows promise for certain users who have specific needs, although it may not benefit everyone. Jim tests Fast D-Dup and shares that while it brings enhancements, the real excitement lies in its potential for a select group of users rather than the masses. Encouragement is given to those interested to explore this new feature, outlining an important development in data management technology.
