Abstract
The present disclosure is related to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for supporting deduplication in file storage using file chunk hashes. A hash of a chunk of a log segment can be received from a software defined data center. A chunk identifier can be associated with the hash in a hash map that stores associations between sequentially-allocated chunk identifiers and hashes. The chunk identifier can be associated with a logical address corresponding to the chunk of the log segment in a logical map that stores associations between the sequentially-allocated chunk identifiers and logical addresses. A search of the hash map can be performed to determine if the chunk is a duplicate, and the chunk can be deduplicated responsive to a determination that the chunk is a duplicate.
