move directory from one dedupe directory to another

If I use "mv"  in CLI/ssh to move the contents SmartDeduped directory "/ifs/share1/dedupe-data" to "/ifs/share2/dedupe-data" will this:

a) re-hydrate the dedupted data and possibly fill /ifs to the brim?

Or

b) will it stay in "deduped state"?

Again, using "mv" via CLI/ssh to move (not copy!) the content of the directory...

Running OneFS 9.5 on Isilon H500 nodes (no inline dedupe, only post/offline job dedupe)

Thanks a lot for your input.

Hello CendresMetaux,

When moving a deduped directory, it will re-hydrate the data. It may fill /ifs to the max capacity, but it is hard to say for sure as it depends on how much data there is.

Hi All,

If I use the mv command to move data from /ifs/share1/dedupe-data to /ifs/share2/dedupe-data on OneFS 9.5 with Isilon H500 nodes, will it:

a) Re-hydrate the data and potentially fill up /ifs?

or

b) Keep the data in its deduplicated state?

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for your question.

If both are set to be deduplicated, it should stay deduplicated.

 

Let us know if you have any additional questions.
