Deduplicating and compressing logical volumes on RHEL


Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

Deploying VDO on LVM to increase the storage capacity

Red Hat Customer Content Services

Abstract

Use the Virtual Data Optimizer (VDO) feature in Logical Volume Manager(LVM) to manage deduplicated and compressed logical volumes. You can manage VDO as a type of LVM's Logical Volume (LV), similar to LVM thin-provisioned volumes.
You can deploy VDO on LVM (LVM-VDO) to provide deduplicated storage for block access, file access, local storage, and remote storage. You can also configure a thin-provisioned VDO volume to avoid the physical space of the VDO volume being 100% used.
