    Abstract: Methods and systems for a networked storage system are provided. One method includes: utilizing, by a first node, a storage location cache to determine if an entry associated with a first read request for data stored using a logical object owned by a second node configured as a failover partner node of the first node exists; transmitting, by the first node, the first read request to the second node; receiving, by the first node, a response to the first read request from the second node with requested data; inserting, by the first node, an entry in the storage location cache indicating the storage location information for the data; and utilizing, by the first node, the inserted entry in the storage location cache to determine storage location of data requested by a second read request received by the first node.

    Abstract: Techniques are provided for implementing additional compression for existing compressed data. Format information stored within a data block is evaluated to determine whether the data block is compressed or uncompressed. In response to the data block being compressed according to a first compression format, the data block is decompressed using the format information. The data block is compressed with one or more other data blocks to create compressed data having a second compression format different than the first compression format.
