摘要： A method for mapping a write operation of an RAID device, includes flowing steps, initiating a mirroring device built in each member disk of the RAID device; activating a kernel thread, for monitoring the operation state of the RAID device, and recording current usage information; and if an incorrect write operation occurs to a member disk of the RAID device, storing the data of the incorrect write operation into a mirroring device of another member disk of the RAID device through the kernel thread. The method ensures the integrity and safety of the data stored in the RAID device and prevents the data from being lost when the member disk of the RAID device is replaced or severely damaged.

摘要： A method of dynamically adjusting the number of task requests is provided, which is applicable to an Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) protocol. When a target receives a task request transmitted by an initiator or the target completes the task request, the number of transmissible tasks is calculated according to an average access data volume, an current access data volume, and an allowable access data volume in the target, and returned to the initiator, such that the number of the task requests transmitted simultaneously by the initiator does not exceed the number of transmissible tasks, thereby achieving flow control. The allowable access data volume is obtained through interactive and dynamic adjustment between the target and the initiator.

摘要： A snapshot expansion system and a method, applicable to a logical volume manager, are provided. A snapshot space is allocated in a volume group space of a logical volume (LV) to create a snapshot. When a data write request is sent to the LV, the total capacity of the snapshot is compared with the current stored data volume of the snapshot space, thereby obtaining a difference representing the size of the remaining capacity of the snapshot space. Then, whether the difference is smaller than a preset value is detected. When the difference is smaller than the preset value, a capacity space is measured off in the volume group space to expand the capacity of the snapshot space through a standard expansion algorithm. The snapshot expansion system and method are capable of ensuring sufficient snapshot space to accommodate backup data, thereby ensuring availability of the snapshot.

摘要： A logic volume snapshot copy management method used for a logic volume manager. When there is a data write-in request, the plurality of snapshot copies established in the logic volume corresponding to the various time points are utilized to search in the logic volume for the data address of the data to be written. Then the data are copied into the snapshot copy of the last time point, at the data address of the data to be written in the logic volume, by Copy-On-Write (COW) operation. When there is a snapshot copy read request, the snapshot copy data at the requested data address is to be retrieved. Through the method, the function of a high-speed snapshot copy can be realized. In addition, the storage space used for a snapshot copy can be reduced.

摘要： A method of protecting data in the cache memory of a storage system is used to protect the data stored in the cache memory of a first storage system and a second storage system coupled together and with the battery backed function. When the first storage system and the second storage system function normally, the data in their cache memory are mutually backed up. When any of the storage system has a power failure situation, the other normal storage system takes over the malfunctioned storage device. The data in its own cache memory are protected using the battery backed function. After the malfunctioned storage system restarts, the two storage systems keep backing up the data in the cache memory of each other. This provides a thorough protection of the data in the cache memory of the storage systems, increasing the reliability thereof.
