Deduplication feature support in ext4 file system


Deduplication feature is not supported in ext4 but it is in btrfs.

Being a stable and mature linux file system, what is the reason of not providing the feature in ext4.

Is it in the roadmap of ext4?

Welcome to LQ!

Have a nice time.

Because ext4 was not designed with deduplication feature.
