[zfs-code] ZFS and deduplication?

Just wanting some reading on dedupe, whether it''s the from the KCA
presentations or otherwise.  I was "virtually" present at the KCA, but
the sound was so bad during the keynote that I couldn''t really
understand what was being said.

I don''t have a conspiracy theory - there just isn''t any good
info on dedupe that I can find.  I''d love to learn more about it or try
it out.  I''ve read the other conspiracy theory posts.  That''s
not how I think.  :)

I understand that SXCE will be phased out, but I thought possibly an early
version of dedupe would be available before October.  Alternatively, I guess I
could ask if anyone knows when it will be available to play with in whatever we
call the "beta/testing/development/non-release" version of
OpenSolaris.

Then again, conspicuously, the audio was bad ONLY for the keynote, ALL the
presentations have been released EXCEPT for the keynote, Oracle wants to kill
OpenSolaris, and GreenBytes has a secret deal with Sun to destroy dedupe, ZFS
and open source in general, and to just overall destroy the free world and
democracy as we know it.  Just kidding. :)
