Comment on introducing copyparty, the FOSS file server
suzune@ani.social 1 day agoJust a remark from someone who runs ZFS since the beginning. Many people don’t like the deduplication feature because of its memory footprint.
It’s also nice to have this feature without relying on a certain filesystem.

I assume you mean automatic deduplication? I haven’t used ZFS, but BTRFS does not have that. There are a variety of ways to perform deduplication, I have duperemove scheduled to run regularly.
If ZFS is still capable of being instructed to perform deduplication when automatic deduplication is turned off, which it really should be able to do, then this should work even with it turned off.
