@matteo-nunziati So, CentOS 7 , EXT4, LVM with compression turned on.
After all, I'm using consumer / smb desktop hardware. From what I've read, ZFS would require more resources than I have available if I wanted dedupe. My storage box will only have 8 GB RAM.

Generally go XFS but even ext4 is good. ZFS requires something like 1gb per raw tb of storage but mostrly for raid/compression. It raises up to 5gb per tb if you want dedup.
So 8gb=8tb of raw (pre raid) storage.
ZFS is nice byt you usually can go w/out its features in smb

The memory is for dedupe. It needs very little for compression and RAID. Those use CPU, but not RAM (much).

No you are right 1gb is for dedup

I do this a lot 😉

I have a HP EliteDesk 800 G1 SFF as my XS 7.0 test box. Works great!

I don't see any issue with a lab box being PC based.

Yeah. My "oh s***" box is a Dell T3500. It stood in for the server while it got upgraded to XS7 from XS6.
