Hi, The following series of patches implements in btrfs an ioctl to do out-of-band deduplication of file extents. To be clear, this means that the file system is mounted and running, but the dedupe is not done during file writes, but after the fact when some userspace software initiates a dedupe. The primary patch is loosely based off of one sent by Josef Bacik back in January, 2011.
