Re:Data Deduplication with Linux by wcoenen on Sunday August 28, 2011 @05:08PM (#2934974)
lessfs appears to do block level deduplication (like ZFS). This means that if I copy a huge file but add a few bytes at the start, I won't get any benefit from deduplication because the data doesn't align anymore with the original block boundaries.

I wonder if there is a way to improve on that?
