[OpenIndiana-discuss] sata port multiplier? dedup tables overflowing RAM D510MO

> Is there a way to safely turn off dedup?  What happens to the already
deduped files and the dedup tables?

AFAIK, turning off (or on) dedup does not affect already deduped (or
non-deduped) blocks.  What might be faster (if possible) is to copy a
directory at a time to a temp name, rename the original, then rename the
temp to the original, then delete the renamed original (or somesuch.)
