is deduplication possible?
If we would talk about OSS systems then Dragon Fly BSD's hammerfs or Open Indiana ZFS (FreeBSD has it too) support deduplication and such filesystems are exported as NFS (so can be used as data domain).
If you would not use Linux (as they broke having /usr as separate filesystem) and you would design your unix-like VMs correctly, you can share a disk containing "static" data like /usr, /usr/local between VMs as a kind of "deduplication" without being "trapped" by buzzword technologies. j.
