Yeah, Sun has some storage with dedupe that you can buy today, it's called SOLARIS TEN.
Correct, no other open source filesystem offers dedupe. That's what I fucking said: ZFS is useless without dedupe. Who gives a shit? ext3 is perfectly fine; all I lose is the ability to mkfs disks with differing inode sizes--whoop-de-fuckin-do.
2) Oh bullshit. If I try and cut-n-paste what the OSS ZFS filenames look like (or even hand-type them) into this text box, HTML does a terrific job marking it up and making the brackets and "033" all disappear and I'll show you spaces. If I could FORCE UTF8, this would be a moot point, but, guess what, YOU CAN'T because the open-source ZFS doesn't even have that property available, so your argument is invalid.
Read what the fuck I wrote, gym-socks. Here, I speak caveman: "rofl ZFS shit cuz cant copy Télépopmusik from UTF8 ext3 box to ZFS lolz."
Fucking dickAC.
