FAQ zfs deduplication

Q. When will ZFS have deduplication?

A. Just my view on ZFS + deduplication based on what I know..

• There is some legal bla bla between Sun and green-bytes that's tying up the IP around dedup... (someone knock some sense into green-bytes please) 
• there's an acquisition that's got all sorts of delays.. which may very well delay the thing with green-bytes as well
• Is it in the best interest of Oracle for ZFS to have dedup before btrfs?  (I doubt this is a reason, but it's a question to ask)
• Nobody has written the code.. patches welcome :)

Drop me a comment if I'm missing something


IANAL
