Not sure if its a right forum to check about specifics for AWS ONTAP FSx volumes but worth a try
I have volumes deployed on AWS ONTAP FSx with default storage efficiency setup. My understanding was that compression and de-duplication are default features for the FSx volumes. However I have recently discovered based on stats from various volumes [stats below] that de-duplication happens by default but there is no compression enabled.
Volume Contains Shared or Compressed Data: true
Space Saved by Storage Efficiency: 5.66GB
Percentage Saved by Storage Efficiency: 23%
Space Saved by Deduplication Along With VBN ZERO Savings: 5.66GB
Percentage Saved by Deduplication: 23%
Unique Data Which Got Shared by Deduplication: 5.65GB
Space Saved by Compression: 0B
Percentage Space Saved by Compression: 0%
I cannot try volume efficiency CLI as its disabled for AWS FSX ontap.
