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
