By

“A new open source project, dubbed Opendedup, has appeared with
the goal of creating a deduplication-based file system for Linux

deduplication solutions only solve the problem of storing
deduplicated data, not reading and writing inline data.

“SDFS is designed to support the needs of virtual environments
