Hi All:
We have been looking at implementing deduplication on a backup server.
From what I have been able to find the available documentation is
pretty thin. I ended up trying to install LessFS on this CentOS 5.7 box but we have now encountered problems with fuse version.
Has anyone out there been able to get LessFS running on CentOS 5.7 and can provide some pointers?
If not LessFS can you suggest an alternate deduplication software?
TIA
Regards, Hugh
The ZFSonlinux project from LLNL looks promising (native mode kernel implementation, pool version 28), although the version that supports mountable filesystems is still in the RC stage. I would want some solid testing before deploying in a backup system.
