Some issues regarding ZFS dedup to keep in mind:
* Dedup will go slowly unless you have enough RAM to hold every hash for
every block you are deduping
* Compression, instead of dedup, can result in higher throughput
(compression and decompression is faster than writing/reading the larger
amount of data to/from HDD)
* The OpenZFS (http://open-zfs.org/) project holds good potential for
ZFS on Linux
