I had a problem that my 4GB USB-stick filled up with automatic loaded and installed updates, and then got an idea:
Since new FreeNAS-versions should differ only marginally from each other, wouldn't the boot volume be the perfect candidate for deduplication?
"The dedup tables used during deduplication need ~8 GB of RAM per 1TB of data to be deduplicated"
So for a dataset on a 4 GByte USB-stick only 32 MByte RAM is needed.
Anyone done this already?
