Hi, I'm currently running GlusterFS over XFS, and it works quite well. I'm wondering if it's possible to add data deduplication into the mix by: glusterfs --> lessfs --> xfs or glusterfs --> opendedupe --> xfs Has anybody tried doing this? We're running VM images on gluster, and I figure we could get a bit of space saving bu deduplicating the data. Gerald
Can you describe your setup how you are running VM images on gluster? We're currently looking at that option but we don't find much information on the internet about it. Thanks!

Hi, I asked this a while back, but haven't received any answers. Has anyone tried some form of dedup?
