LCFS: A New Container Filesystem for Modern Datacenters

Hi, I am one of the contributors on this project, and happy to answer any questions... LCFS will also be supporting the snapshot driver discussed here - https://github.com/docker/containerd/pull/484.

Currently, the install experience is not the greatest... We rely on the Docker v2 plugin interface and that is still in beta. We are working with the Docker team to help us smooth out some of these rough edges.

LCFS will also support other container formats and any help from the community is much appreciated.

This looks amazing. One of the biggest pains of using docker is that the storage driver inevitably explodes the system.

Is anyone using LCFS in production? Why did you get started building it?

LCFS is not yet being used in production as far as I know

We started building this because there are a lot of issues running containers in production, specifically around image space and inode management and also with page cash usage.

This file system was specifically designed to address memory and storage management of container images
