Abstract: A system and method for performing a backup operation is described. A source system determines a set of files to be backed up at a backup system. Based on one or more attributes of each file of the set of files, the source system determines an order in which to perform the backup operation for the set of files. The order specifies an individual file of the set of files to be backed up before another file of the set of files. The source system communicates with the backup system to perform the backup operation of the set of files in the determined order.

Abstract: The storage device receives a write request from a disk controller to write data to a storage array. The storage device determines that one or more blocks are marked for deletion. In response to receiving the write request and determining that blocks are marked for deletion, the storage device issues a write command on a first media access channel for a first location of the storage array, and issues an erase command on a second media access channel for a different storage location of the storage array. Thus, the commands are issued concurrently on different channels.

Abstract translation: 存储设备从磁盘控制器接收写请求以将数据写入存储阵列。 存储设备确定一个或多个块被标记为删除。 响应于接收到写请求并确定块被标记为删除，存储设备在存储阵列的第一位置的第一媒体访问信道上发出写入命令，并且在第二媒体访问信道上发出擦除命令 存储阵列的不同存储位置。 因此，这些命令在不同的通道上同时发出。

Abstract: Among other things, one or more techniques and/or systems are provided for storing data within a hybrid storage aggregate comprising a lower-latency storage tier and a higher-latency storage tier. In particular, frequently accessed data, randomly accessed data, and/or short lived data may be stored (e.g., read caching and/or write caching) within the lower-latency storage tier. Infrequently accessed data and/or sequentially accessed data may be stored within the higher-latency storage tier. Because the hybrid storage aggregate may comprise a single logical container derived from the higher-latency storage tier and the lower-latency storage tier, additional storage and/or file system functionality may be implemented across the storage tiers. For example, deduplication functionality, caching functionality, backup/restore functionality, and/or other functionality may be provided through a single file system (or other type of arrangement) and/or a cache map implemented within the hybrid storage aggregate.

Abstract translation: 除其他之外，提供一个或多个技术和/或系统用于在包括较低延迟存储层和较高延迟存储层的混合存储聚合中存储数据。 特别地，经常访问的数据，随机访问的数据和/或短寿命数据可以在较低延迟存储层内被存储（例如，读取高速缓存和/或写入高速缓存）。 不经常访问的数据和/或顺序访问的数据可以存储在更高延迟的存储层中。 因为混合存储聚合可以包括从较高延迟存储层和较低延迟存储层导出的单个逻辑容器，所以可以跨存储层实现附加的存储和/或文件系统功能。 例如，重复数据删除功能，缓存功能，备份/恢复功能和/或其他功能可以通过单个文件系统（或其他类型的安排）和/或在混合存储聚合中实现的缓存映射来提供。

Abstract: Examples are disclosed for identifying duplicated media content in a plurality of media files. In some examples, according to a media file format, media content sequences may be located and duplicated media content sequences identified. For these examples, at least a portion of the identified duplicated media content sequences may then be deleted or not stored at a storage system. Other examples are described and claimed.

Abstract: A method, non-transitory computer readable medium, and device that prefetchs includes identifying a candidate data block from one of one or more immediate successor data blocks. The identified candidate data block has a historical access probability value from an initial accessed data block which is higher than a historical access probability value for each of the other immediate successor data blocks and is above a prefetch threshold value. The identifying is repeated until a next identified candidate data block has the historical access probability value below the prefetch threshold value. In the repeating, the identifying next immediate successor data blocks is from the previously identified candidate data block and the historical access probability value for each of the next immediate successor data blocks is determined from the originally accessed data block. The identified candidate data block with the historical access probability value above the prefetch threshold value is fetched.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a node of a cluster having a plurality of nodes, executes a storage input/output (I/O) stack having a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) layer. The RAID layer organizes solid state drives (SSDs) within one or more storage arrays as a plurality of RAID groups associated with one or more extent stores. The RAID groups are formed from slices of storage spaces of the SSDs instead of entire storage spaces of the SSDs. This provides for RAID groups to co-exist on a same set of the SSDs.

Abstract: Machine implemented method and system for adding a directory entry to an existing directory data structure maintained by a storage system for storing a plurality of directory entries are provided. A first level storage block is used for storing a pointer to a first hash value from among a plurality of hash values. A new third level storage block is allocated when a second level storage block has reached a threshold level for storing pointers to hash values for the plurality of directory entries. A group of pointers including a pointer to a second hash value from among the plurality of hash values is selected. The group of pointers is stored in the third level storage block with a pointer to a third hash value from among the plurality of hash values such that the directory entry can be searched using the plurality of hash values.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a node coupled to a plurality of solid state drives (SSDs) executes a storage input/output (I/O) stack having a plurality of layers. Write data associated with one or more write requests to the SSDs is stored in a volatile log. The write data is organized into one or more extents that are copied to the SSDs. The volatile log has a front-end and a set of records with metadata. The metadata includes a head offset referencing an initial record and a tail offset referencing a final record. A portion of the one or more write requests including the write data is copied to a non-volatile log maintained in a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). The front-end and the set of records from the volatile log are copied, but the head offset and the tail offset are not, to reduce an amount of metadata copied to the NVRAM.

Abstract: Various of the disclosed embodiments provide for recovery following inadvertent errors in a Log-Structured File System (LSFS). Particularly, embodiments mitigate inadvertent errors introduced by a file system consistency check operation by creating file system images at an appropriate time. The images may be stored within the portion of the file system accessible to a user. The images may be created in conjunction with the mounting of the file system and in such a fashion as to preserve the file system data should an error occur. Restoring the system to one of the images may remove any errors introduced by the consistency check, or similar, operation.

Abstract translation: 各种公开的实施例提供了在日志结构化文件系统（LSFS）中的无意错误之后的恢复。 特别地，实施例通过在适当的时间创建文件系统图像来减轻由文件系统一致性检查操作引入的意外错误。 图像可以存储在用户可访问的文件系统的部分内。 图像可以与文件系统的安装一起创建，并且以如果发生错误时保留文件系统数据的方式来创建。 将系统恢复到其中一个映像可能会删除由一致性检查或类似操作引入的任何错误。
