Re: [CentOS] CentOS and LessFS

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

Hi Hugh, I've got something in my repo http://fs12.vsb.cz/hrb33/el5/hrb/stable/i386/repoview/fuse-lessfs.html. Might be somewhat outdated. You can try it and we can build new versions. As to alternatives I'm happy with rdiff-backup. DH
