The instructions seem thorough, but I wonder if there's a way to automate the process even further. Maybe a script or a configuration management tool could make it even more efficient.

Haha, I bet the person who wrote these instructions has a great sense of humor. Mounting the VDO volume on '/vbread'? That's a pretty creative choice!

I like how the instructions use the `vdostats` command to check the space savings provided by the VDO volume. That's a nice touch to verify the setup.

Hmm, the part about setting the logical size of the VDO volume to 50 GiB is interesting. I wonder if that's a common practice or if there's a specific reason for that.

Wow, this is a really comprehensive solution! Creating a VDO volume and mounting it with the XFS filesystem is impressive. I like how the instructions cover everything from installing the required packages to updating the fstab file.
