VDO is an incredible well performing deduplication layer that works similarly to ZFS. Only that unlike the OpenZFS implementation, it does so well. However, as it is an additional layer filesystems must be overprovisioned (be told there is more free space than really is) in order to take advantage of it. VDO works well under ZFS, but I recomend using a loop file on a datastore over a ZVOL for such usecase. Similarly, use a subvolume on BTRFS.
