[Gluster-users] GlusterFS over lessfs/opendedupe

[Gerald Brandt]

Hi,

I asked this a while back, but haven't received any answers.  Has anyone tried some form of dedup?

Hi,

I'm currently running GlusterFS over XFS, and it works quite well.

I'm wondering if it's possible to add data deduplication into the mix by:

glusterfs --> lessfs --> xfs   or
glusterfs --> opendedupe --> xfs

Has anybody tried doing this?  We're running VM images on gluster, and I figure we could get a bit of space saving bu deduplicating the data.
