Hi All,

Nobody is. It's not possible. You can only do LANFree with sequential pools.

Are yo saying I can't use FileDev for this???

I guess you can if using a file devclass according to this: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowled.../com.ibm.itsm.srv.doc/c_dedup_client_ovw.html I didn't consider file dedup, most are moving towards container dedup.

As I look deeper into the dedupe doing it on the container side makes the most sense.
Thanks for the reply.
