Hi,
I have a NAS Running Xpenology, Xeon based with BTRFS file system.
Synology DSM does not natively implement inline or offline deduplication with BTRFS.
I can however run a VM container using docker and install a package to do offline dedupe.
My question is, for a server that is majority media - MKV video and music files, how much block level duplication (thus reduction) will I likely see?
My alternative is simply to add more storage which of course costs money.
Id be interested in the risks of either approach (I know the risks with RAID 6 but not dedupe) and general comments relevant to the idea .
Cheers,
