Hi,
I have not been able to find documentation about how deduplication works
in Hammer2. I have only found that online deduplication is now on by
default, but there seems to be no description how it works.
Is it possible to make offline deduplication? I mean finding blocks with
the same checksum and making one block point to another instead of
spending space on disk twice? There are several utilities that do this
on BTRFS in Linux, for example https://github.com/Zygo/bees
