Create Deduplication Storage Folder on NAS
What is required to create a deduplication fodler on another device that is not part of the local media server? When trying to create the folder on a NAS I get the error:
"A deduplication Storage ...
This is NOT possible, and pretty clearly detailed in the requirements in the admin guide for the dedupe feature.
It needs to be direct attached storage, block level storage. e.g. internal disk, FC, iSCSI, etc. No SMB/CIFS/NFS/UNC paths. It also needs to be NTFS formatted.
There is no way you can get the performance needed for the dedupe folder, via a network share.
