I don't know :)
In theory it should work. When you request data you're not requesting it from the disk, your asking for a specific block. If that block is in cache it should not matter if it's deduped (and pretending to be several blocks) or not.

Is this true?
Is memory "de-dup'ed" as well? That is, when you access a file through
the cache, if it ends up at a de-dup'ed block, is it really the same
block in *memory*, too? Or, is the path through memory/cache unique
and only the final disk store de-dup'ed?
Until next time...
