Thanks Chris. Done

I don't think box was designed for such tests by users and if possible it would need to be done by DD engineering for the sake of their own tests.

Perhaps, but even so, I would assume it can be disabled and therefore would like to know how

Hi Bishnz,

I spoke with our Filesystems team about this and they stated that you should call our support line to work with an engineer on this.  It may be possible to stop deduplication but we would want to work closely with you in attempting to do so.

Looks like you want to disable de-dup on DD which is possible somehow but not that simple. Even tech support may not be able to do that. By all means, doing testing I can't say it's a good reason to convince the engineering to open the back door for you. BTW, what kind of testing would that be anyway?

i can easily see someone who wants to test impact of inline dedupe on network throughput.

Thanks Patrick. Will do.
