# DBFS # # DBFS #
(Database Filesystem) DBFS is a FUSE file system utilizing an SQL database as the file system's backend. It mimics regular block storage in database tables, storing hash values of each block and maintains uniqueness among these blocks using those hash vaules. As a result, this file system can theorically store more data while utilizing less actual data storage space. Other benefits include fast/easy snapshotting, forking and indexing.
