We did not solve a typical de-duplication problem with LCFS. If you write two copies of the same data to LCFS, there will be two copies of data stored. We may provide such de-duplication feature at some point in future.

Docker is already doing de-duplication by keeping shared data in image layers and expect the storage driver (graphdriver) to manage shared data between many container application efficiently without instantiating multiple copies of shared data in memory and disk. That problem can be solved by well known file system snapshot and cloning technologies and that is what LCFS is doing, and a lot more efficiently than any existing storage drivers out there.
