sys-fs/bees: Best-Effort Extent-Same, a btrfs dedup agent.
Bees is a block-oriented userspace dedup agent designed to avoid
scalability problems on large filesystems.
Bees is designed to degrade gracefully when underprovisioned with RAM.
Bees does not use more RAM or storage as filesystem data size
increases. The dedup hash table size is fixed at creation time and does
not change. The effective dedup block size is dynamic and adjusts
automatically to fit the hash table into the configured RAM limit. Hash
table overflow is not implemented to eliminate the IO overhead of hash
table overflow. Hash table entries are only 16 bytes per dedup block to
keep the average dedup block size small.
