Virtual Data Optimizer (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.
This package provides the kernel modules for VDO.
