So Dedup
Everyone says not to use it, And from everything I've read it completely makes sense.
Two things I cannot find an answer to.
1. You have Dedup turned on, Is there something that can be watched that will indicate you are getting close to a failure? Memory usage? or tools?
2. You have multiple datasets, You have one with Dedup turned on. It fails. You lose that dataset? Or all other datasets on same drive? Or everything Processor/memory goes up in smoke! (Last one there was just for some humor)
Reason I ask is that I want to try it, Setup an extra FreeNas machine and dump a bunch of active data (Probably VM disks, nothing that will be missed) and see what happens.
