Some experiments on deduplicating contents at sub-file granularity using Rabin fingerprints.

Linux kernel, Git repo

  • origin: git.kernel.org, on 2018-01-06
  • 1.653.941 content blobs, for a total of 19 GB (compressed)

test 1

Rabin fingerprint parameters:

  • prime: 3
  • window_size: 48 KB
  • min_block_size: 2 KB
  • avg_block_size: 8 KB
  • max_block_size: 64 KB

Results:

  • original size (uncompressed): 55.89 GB
  • dedup chunk size (uncompressed): 19.87 GB (35.55%)
