The way of storing data on the distribution point has changed drastically; where Configuration Manager 2007 stored a lot of duplicate content, Configuration Manager 2012 stores content only once. The content is stored in the content library (SCCMContentLib). This library is divided in three parts:
Data Library (DataLib) The data library holds INI files with metadata information about each file in the file library.
File Library (FileLib) The file library holds the actual files of the packages. It provides single-instance storage of files on the site server and distribution point.
Package Library (PkgLib) The package library stores information about the content in each package.
The content library replaces the compressed content on the Configuration Manager 2007 distribution points and replaces the smspkx$ share (where x represents the volume name hosting the share), the place where the compressed content was stored.
For site-to-site replication of distribution point content, compressed copies of the content are still used. The compression method is new and has a higher compression rate. A new component called PkgXferMgr performs the distribution.
The location of the distribution point share can be spanned over different drives. Drives will have a priority set for file storage, instead of the drive with the most space being used like in earlier versions.
