Have played around with lessfs on Linux for some time and found that Networker
savesets doesn't dedup well with fixed block dedupping. This is probably
because the files in savesets almost always start at different positions within
the device block and thus the block is different from last time even if the
file hasn't changed. I just wish there was a feature in Networker to always
start a file in a saveset on a device block boundary...
The compression feature of lessfs does give a around 50% gain, but a pure
compressing filesystem would give you the same. (RFE someone influental... :-) )
