Hi I create a TEST HA Disk with 1GB Space. I activate the In-Line deduplication and dont use this target in this moment.
Now I seee in my directory 162 SPSPX-files with 528.384 KB each file! These are over 80 GB for one empty 1 GB target.

Is that right or an issue? How must i calculate my space when I want to use HA with In-line deduplication?
I want to save my expensive SSD storage with dedup, but now it is using more of them...


Best regards,

HALi

Hi
LSFS logs and records all the changes, so we expect to see 1:3 space utilization. For example 3 GBs per each TB of data. Sometimes that works not as it should. We have the beta build that should fix the behavior that you see. Here is the link to download it:

We`d appreciate if you could give us the fedback.
