A method for efficiently synchronizing configuration data within distributed computing systems may include: 1) maintaining a hash tree that is based on the hierarchical relationship of each object within a distributed computing system that is relevant to the computing device, 2) determining, during a reconciliation process with an additional computing device, that a hash of a top-level node of the hash tree differs from a hash of a corresponding node of the additional computing device's hash tree, 3) identifying, by iterating through the hash levels of the computing device's hash tree, at least one leaf node within the computing device's hash tree whose hash differs from a hash of a corresponding leaf node within the additional computing device's hash tree, 4) receiving the changed leaf node's value from the additional computing device, and then 5) updating the identified leaf node's value to match the changed leaf node's value.

Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a method and system for filesystem deduplication that uses both small fingerprint granularity and variable length sharing techniques. The method includes accessing, within an electronic system, a plurality of files in a primary storage filesystem and determining a plurality of fingerprints for the plurality of files. Each respective fingerprint may correspond to a respective portion of a respective file of the plurality of files. The method further includes determining a plurality of portions of the plurality of files where each of the plurality of portions has the same corresponding fingerprint and accessing a list comprising a plurality of portions of files previously deduplicated. A portion of a file of the plurality of files not present in the list may then be deduplicated. Consecutive portions of variables lengths having the same corresponding fingerprints may also be deduplicated.

Techniques for optimizing configuration partitioning are disclosed. In one particular exemplary embodiment, the techniques may be realized as a system for configuration partitioning comprising a module for providing one or more policy managers, a module for providing one or more applications, the one or more applications assigned to one or more application groups, a module for associating related application groups with one or more blocks, and a module for assigning each of the one or more blocks to one of the one or more policy managers, wherein if one or more of the one or more blocks cannot be assigned to a policy manager, breaking the one or more blocks into the one or more application groups and assigning the one or more application groups to one of the one or more policy managers.
