I was poking at a few things today as I was waiting for "zfs update -r" to finish ... which included investigating which zfs features were related to which versions. I was looking for a nice table. On the way to finding a nice table, I crossed this partially complete freebsd-centric table: http://old.nabble.com/ZFS-version-info-td27466164.html ... note from here that deduplication features are introduced in version 21. Something I noticed because I follow -current and I'm interested in the feature. Shortly thereafter I found a nice table (here: http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-5461/appendixa-1?a=view ) ... now notice that the official Oracle table lists version 21 of zpool as "Reserved" ... this worries me. Is the solution to the lawsuit against Sun by NetApp (that Oracle settled) that Oracle burys deduplication? This could be bad for people who unbury it.
