I'm also interested in knowing if there are plans to provide downloadable deb/rpm packages for the manager.  This way to web gui can be used on non-appliance installs.

I do plan on providing this. I will prepare it for the next release of SDFS, this month.

Great.
Sam, can you provide a few points as to what you are targeting in this release?  It would be useful to people to know.
Keep up the good work.

One thing I want to try at some stage it to put 'flashcache' ( https://github.com/facebook/flashcache) in front of the volume where sdfs stores its data.  This is not hard to set up and I've done it on other filesystems that are heavy on metadata operations.  It did help out quite a lot.  For some use cases having sdfs set up on a single filesystem might be easier that separating things out to increase performance.  I have used flashcache in front of a logical volume that gets exported via iscsi and have gotten good performance.

Sam,

Thanks for building this dedup project, it's helped out a TON so far with storage resources for our backups. 
Do you have an update on the time frame for the manager release? =)

Thanks again!

Sam, is there are any news about the separate package of SDFS Manager?

Thx!
