Userspace tools for managing VDO(Virtual Data Optimizer) volumes
Description
VDO (which includes kvdo and vdo) is software that provides inline block-level deduplication,
compression, and thin provisioning capabilities for primary storage. VDO installs within
the Linux device mapper framework, where it takes ownership of existing physical block devices
and remaps these to new, higher-level block devices with data-efficiency capabilities.
VDO includes two kernel modules, and a set of userspace tools for managing them.
The userspace tools include a pair of python scripts, "vdo" for creating and managing VDO volumes,
and "vdostats" for extracting statistics from those volumes.
