Does this happen regardless of the method used to import drivers?  (i.e., 
single INF versus scanning a directory for all drivers?)

Can you provide a specific example of driver(s) that exhibit the behavior?  We 
can’t seem to reproduce the issue in our testing environment where SP1 is 
applied.

"Duplicates" bug

As I understood it applies to all new/updated packages after SP1 was installed.

And yeah, I wouldn’t put SP1 in production…

Mine increased. All the older drivers and packages are about the same.  I only 
had one new 2012 R2 driver package I have imported since SP1 and it went from 
245 MB to 323 MB.

Is this for every driver import or does it only happen under certain conditions?

That’s big enough to stay away from SP1, I’d say.

Can confirm, MS is aware. We haven’t upgraded to SP1 ourselves, but I know 
others that have and have tickets opened.

Subject: [mssms] Configuration Manager 2012 R2 SP1 Driver Package "Duplicates" 
bug

I've seen this issue reported on Microsoft Connect and I've read anecdotal 
evidence that Microsoft is supposedly aware of the issue, but I wanted to reach 
out here to see if any can comment more-or-less officially whether or not this 
is a known issue...

Long story short, since updating to R2 SP1, we've found that creating Driver 
Packages via the console causes massive content bloat.

It seems that the process is a causing creation of a duplicate copy of the 
driver source for every .inf file in a driver source folder.

For example, for model of hardware X, the audio driver source content folder 
has 50 .inf files in it.
The folder containing the .inf files is 183 MB.
When I go to create a driver package from this source, ConfigMgr creates 50 
copies of the 183MB source folder when creating the driver package (or 
something along these lines).

It caused me a minor freak-out last week when I was trying to create a driver 
package for 1 GB worth of content that ballooned to over 12GB in the "package" 
before I killed the process...

Has anyone else seen this? Is MS aware of this issue?

If you need me to provide more specifics, please let me know and I'll try to 
help out where I can.
