Any special reason to turn vfs.hammer.live_dedup sysctl to R/O?
(I haven't noticed a tunable to turn it on; only way is to change code)

Do we have any known problem with live_dedup?
(I haven't noticed a bug on this in our bug handling system)

Live_dedup was off by default;
which seemed fine for an experimental feature.
