Oracle releases Solaris 10 U9 with ZFS v22 without dedup

[Martin Matuska]

Of course without sources.

And more news, Netapp and Oracle have agreed to dismiss lawsuits.

http://www.netapp.com/us/company/news/news-rel-20100909-oracle-settlement.html

The question is, why is Solaris 10 U9 without deduplication? If this has
something to do with the agreement, one possibility is that they agreed
deduplication may only be in Oracle Storage Appliances and Oracle will
honor their patent.

That would mean for us: no deduplication, or anybody using or selling it
without paying a royalty to netapp can go to court

But that is just a speculation as there is no more information available.

Anyway, it is better to be cautious than to end like Coraid.
