Hi
I am testing on an old machine.
It is an i7-3770, 24GB ,1TB drive, boot drive & 16GB optane.
I created a pool 1TB with the optane as a dedup volume.Created two identical sparce 600GB zvlos.
Each has dedup on, no compression, sync disabled.
Also two ISCSI for each, both the same with the 4k block option for modern OSes.
So in windows 11, VM, connected to both drives & fromatted.
The purpose is test out as I want multiple ISCSI to store games (on a much more powerful machine)
I copied 'DOOM' to each of the drives twice. It is about 70GB in size.
So 4 copies in all.
I tried installing truenas core initially, but would not boot, so are using truenas scale.
From the storage dashboard for the pool the figures are:
Usable Capacity: 1.07 TiB
How exactly to I find the dedup ratio in truenas scale?
If it worked, should be between 3 and 4.
I am trying to find out if it works & if not, how is it (mis)configured?
Useful information is appreciated.
thanks
