Hmm...
To clarify.
Every discussion or benchmarking that I have seen always show both off,
compression only or both on.
Why never compression off and dedup on?
After some further thought... perhaps it's because compression works at the
byte level and dedup is at the block level. Perhaps I have answered my own
question.
Data that don't compress also tends to be data that doesn't dedup well
(media files for example).
