This is my understanding as well. These days we default to zstd, though.

Oh good, I have it off. I was pondering that feature years ago when I set it up. Couldn't remember where I landed.

Deduplication in ZFS can be pushed onto dedicated flash storage now instead of requiring gobs of RAM.

Great channel for side attacks btw.

Doesn't even need SSD's to open a side-channel: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/CAKDzk=-HZardsLFH5c9HYre...

Without having physical access to my hardware, where every disk is FDE anyway?

Physical access not required. Dedupe side attack required timing measurement.

Oh got some hate there.. pissed off the zfs kids with a dose of reality.
Dedupe can be used to infer secret data. .. more news at 11

How to do this?
It is cheaper to buy more disk than the memory to enable dedup (somebody could run the numbers). ZFS ARC also likes lots of memory and you get good performance gains with more memory allocated to it.
In other words, turn on LZ4 compression everywhere and don’t think about it otherwise.
