摘要:
In some embodiments, a file management unit located in the operating system detects a write operation that writes the data blocks within the consistency snapshot (in main memory) to the persistent storage. The file management unit can then determine that all transactions have been completed before the write operation begins. In some instances, the file management unit then attempts to write the data blocks within the consistency snapshot to the persistent storage. The file management unit can then receive a notification that the write operation did not successfully write the data blocks from the consistency snapshot to the persistent storage. In some embodiments, the write operation is not successful because there are fewer free data blocks in the persistent storage than needed for writing the data blocks within the consistency snapshot to persistent storage. The file management can then wait a period of time. After the file management unit has waited for a period of time, it can make another attempt to write the data blocks within the consistency snapshot to the persistent storage.

Embodiments include a method for removing a file within a redirect-on-write file system. In some embodiments, a file removal operation is detected in a file management unit, which resides in a memory unit. It is then determined that the number of free data blocks in the persistent storage is below a minimum threshold. The file removal operation is written to a log used for storing system operations. A file management unit is notified of the successful write of the file removal operation to the log used for storing system operations. The data blocks are moved from the file selected for removal to a list of free data blocks. The indirect blocks from the file selected for removal are moved to a data block removal list.

After a clone file is created from a file, a write request targeting the clone file can be handled. It is determined that the write request indicates the clone file that was cloned from a file in a first fileset. The clone file is of a second fileset and a clustered file system comprises the first fileset and the second fileset. A data block of the clone file affected by the write request is determined. It is then determined that the data block at a current location cannot be modified. The write request is implemented with respect to the data block at a different location. It is indicated that the data block at the different location can be modified for subsequent write requests that indicate the clone file

Mechanisms are provided for importing pre-existing data into a storage system utilizing a current storage management system that is different from an original storage management system used to create the pre-existing data. One or more data storage devices are integrated into the storage system in-place without modification of the pre-existing data stored on the one or more data storage devices. Metadata for the pre-existing data is created based on a linear progression of data in the pre-existing data. Read access requests targeting the pre-existing data are executed using the created metadata. Write access requests targeting the pre-existing data are executed by redirecting the write access requests to a copy of the pre-existing data created in another storage location.

According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a method and technique for hierarchical network failure handling in a clustered node environment is disclosed. The method includes: detecting a network failure by a node in a cluster, the cluster having plural nodes arranged in a hierarchy, wherein the network failure is associated with a subordinate node in the hierarchy to the detecting node; communicating the network failure from the detecting node to a superior node in the hierarchy; determining whether the network failure affects nodes higher than the detecting node in the hierarchy; and responsive to determining that the network failure does not affect nodes higher than the detecting node in the hierarchy, the detecting node initiating a protocol to expel the subordinate node from the cluster.

摘要:
Maintaining a generation value for each fileset that is distinct from a corresponding fileset manager preserves the independence of nodes while also allowing distributed fileset management. A fileset manager can maintain a value that reflects consistency snapshots for that node (“node generation”) separately from a value that reflects consistency snapshots for a particular fileset (“fileset generation”).

Various systems, processes, products, and techniques may be used to manage legacy data. In one general implementation, a system, process, and/or product for managing legacy data may include the ability to determine whether a data request has been received and, if a data request has been received, determine whether the data request is associated with legacy data of an external storage management system. If the data request is not associated with legacy data of an external storage management system, the system, process, and/or product may retrieve data from a local storage array, and if the data request is associated with legacy data of an external storage management system, the system, process, and/or product may request legacy data from an external storage management system. The system, process, and/or product may also generate a response to the data request.

Management of a file hierarchy for a clustered file system can be distributed across nodes of the cluster. A cluster file hierarchy is accessed to determine location of a file in response to a request to write to a file. A first node maintains the cluster file hierarchy. It is determined that management of a fileset object, which represents a fileset that includes the file, has been delegated to a second node based, at least in part, on said accessing the cluster file hierarchy. A node file hierarchy maintained by the second node is accessed responsive to determining the delegation. The cluster file hierarchy represents filesets of the clustered file system and the node hierarchy represents a subset of one or more of the filesets. Location of the file is determined based, at least in part, on said accessing the node file hierarchy.

A system for balancing multiple memory buffer sizes includes a memory partitioned into a plurality of subgroups, each subgroup containing similarly sized buffers. The system further includes a memory manager which manages requests for buffer space by storing and accessing buffer steal history records in a buffer steal history queue.
