A method performed by a block-storage server, of storing data is described. The method includes (1) receiving, from a remote file server, data blocks to be written to persistent block storage managed by the block-storage server; (2) receiving, from the remote file server, metadata describing files to which the data blocks belong in a set of filesystems managed by the remote file server; and (3) selectively applying data reduction when storing the data blocks in the persistent block storage based, at least in part, on the received metadata. An apparatus, system, and computer program product for performing a similar method are also provided.
