I am the OP and I kept the original title, but it does not look like a "file system" to me, it looks more like a key/value store optimized for storing container image layers.
Also curious to know if anyone is using it in production and what their experiences are.
- jjobi 10y agoThis is not a general purpose file system, but something purpose built for serving as a docker storage driver. LCFS outperforms existing solutions and does not have any correctness issues. It is an experimental release at this point. We would like to receive feedback from the community and make it successful for everybody. Our tests so far look very promising.
- erichan 10y agoJust to add to what jjobi says and agree with point here, we have to battle test this, and the best way to get there is to start in the open. So this is the start :). The fundamental thing here is that (a) it's taking a specific approach [with layers], (b) we're in it for the long-haul, and (c) we want this to be in the open. We’ll update as the battle-testing, production progress continues. So 100% agree with the question/point.
