[OpenIndiana-discuss] ZFS with Dedupication for NFS server

[James Kohout]

All, 
 Been running opensolaris 134 with a 9T RaidZ2 array as a backup server 
in a  production environment.   Whenever I tried to turn the ZFS 
deduplication I always had crashes and other issues, which I most likely 
attributed to the know ZFS dedup bugs in 134.  Once I rebuild the pool 
without dedup, things have been running great for several months without 
a glitch.  As a result, I am highly confident it was not a hardware issue.

So looking to upgrade to io148 to be able to enable deduplication.  So 
does have any experience running a ZFS RaidZ2 pool with deduplication in
a production environment?  Is  ZFS deduplication in oi148 considered
stable/production ready?  I would hate to break a working setup chasing a
feature that is not ready.

Any feedback, experience would be appreciated.


Thanks, 
James Kohout
