Enabling and disabling deduplication on a file system

You must enable deduplication on a file system by using the fsdedupadm enable command before you can use any of the deduplication functionality.

The following example enables deduplication on the file system mounted at /mnt1, and specifies a chunk size of 4096 bytes for deduplication:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/fsdedupadm enable -c 4096 /mnt1

You can disable deduplication on a file system by using the fsdedupadm disable command.

The following example disables deduplication on the file system mounted at /mnt1:

# /opt/VRTS/bin/fsdedupadm disable /mnt1
