We use deduplication on our N3600 (FAS2050C) with ESX (vSphere these days) via NFS.
I'm curious how those of you out there with a similar setup manage your disk space and identify "critical" threshholds. We also do thin provisioning so we're thinking about a worst-case scenario where we have to restore from backups and end up with thick provisioned and non deduped VMDK files.
We don't want to be too conservative though -- may as well not be using dedupe at all... :)
Interested in how others on the list deal with this.
Thanks, Ray
