Abstract: Systems and methods for performing single I/O writes are provided. According to one embodiment, responsive to receipt of a write operation from a client by a file system layer of a node of a distributed storage system and a data payload of the operation having been determined to meet a compressibility threshold, an intermediate storage layer of the node logically interposed between the file system layer and a block storage media is caused to perform a single input/output (I/O) write operation that persists the compressed data payload and corresponding metadata to support asynchronous journaling of the write operation. The single I/O write operation coupled with the use of a new pool file that maintains a list of available blocks for single I/O write operations and a modified node crash recovery approach allows the write operation to be acknowledged to the client while the journaling is performed asynchronously.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that assists with reducing memory fragmentation in solid state devices includes identifying an allocation area within an address range to write data from a cache. Next, the identified allocation area is determined for including previously stored data. The previously stored data is read from the identified allocation area when it is determined that the identified allocation area comprises previously stored data. Next, both the write data from the cache and the read previously stored data are written back into the identified allocation area sequentially through the address range.
