Not from a position of experience, but if I had to hazard a guess, I think that deduplication would eventually cause all the blocks to be recognized and squished.

Anyone on this list have a favorite way of moving files from one folder to another folder on the same CIFS volume without causing snapshot growth?
I gotta move 10TB+ of data from one folder structure to another folder structure on the same CIFS vol. We keep snapshots for a year so I really don't want to hang on to 10TB+ of snapshot data for a year.
Can XCP do this somehow? Powershell?
Sorry if this ends up wrapped in a no subject email. I don't know what causing that.
