I just had a stupid, weird notion:
File systems dedupe now, right? IIRC, per storage block.
What if linkers aligned dependencies to the storage block boundaries?
Then let the file system find and dedupe those libraries.
A bit like applying the alignment of data structures in memory (to optimize performance) at the expense of size inefficiency.
- jjtheblunt 6y ago> File systems dedupe now Huh? is there a citation to that assertion perhaps for a particular instance?
- pvik 6y agoas far as I know zfs[1] and btrfs[2] support dedupe. 1 - https://constantin.glez.de/2010/03/16/opensolaris-zfs-deduplication-everything-you-need-know/ https://constantin.glez.de/2010/03/16/opensolaris-zfs-dedupl... 2 - https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Deduplication https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Deduplication
