+Now copy in some files. If you copy the same file over and over then a du
+in mnt will show it's growing, however a du in store will show much less
+growth, mostly just for the single fileobject ref.

+Copying very similar files (such as files that grow over time like
+databases or logs) will show the growth much more slowly in the storage
+directory because the redundant chunks will become refs too.
