SmartDisk deduplications backlogged and garbage collection is running (81829)

Date: Jun 2011
Product Version: 1.2.1
OS Version: N/A


Symptoms:
Deduplications are queuing and there is a backlog.
Garbage collection could be running and could be perceived as stopping deduplication.
Staging space is being used up because deduplication is not running.

Check that the following conditions are set;
1) Deduplication is enabled, i.e. smartdisk config -dedupe-enable true
2) The garbage collection window for the day is closed.
3) The deduplication window is open.

Under these conditions deduplication will run in favour of garbage collection.
