We currently use a temporary flat store on the provide side to store the outboards. We could have a mixed store that stores outboards and paths in memory, but leaves the actual files in the file system. This would mean being able to provide from a readonly file system.
The downside is that the outboards would have to be permanently in memory, which might not be great when sharing giant files.
Outboard = 1/256 of data size, so it would only be a problem for truly large sizes.
