ZFS Deduplication Explained: Learn how ZFS deduplication works by eliminating identical data blocks. We demonstrate the feature, compare results with dedup on and off, and discuss RAM requirements and best use cases. ZFS deduplication is powerful for environments with highly redundant data like VM images or backup repositories. However, for general use cases like web hosting, compression is usually a better choice due to lower RAM requirements.

Nearly four years have passed since AMD launched their EPYC Milan-X processors with 3D V-Cache. When recently rearranging some servers in the lab and realizing the four year anniversary was coming up in March, curiosity got the best of me in wondering where the Linux performance and energy efficiency on Milan-X is now with the latest Linux software stack compared to the numbers when Milan-X launched back in March 2022.
