I figure this will probably be shit on here, but have you ever played with Windows Server Deduplication? We use it all over our corporate Windows environment, with a distributed file system, and it averages 48% globally. It doesn't chew up RAM, integrates with shadow copy services, behaves itself while it runs in the background, and I honestly don't see much if any performance hit reading/writing. Now we're not talking petabytes of data, but each of probably a hundred file servers worldwide has 10-20 terabytes worth stored.
It's literally set it, and forget it. While you gain 50% of your storage back.
- jjobi 10y agoThis is a custom built solution for docker storage driver. A de-duplication server cannot be docker storage driver, as there are more things involved in a docker storage driver like layer management, rapid cloning and deletion of those, efficient diffing between layers and stuff like that. The existing solutions are AUFS, Overlay, devicemapper, btrfs and zfs, and a comparison should be made against those.
