    摘要: The representation of storage devices on computers (e.g., as logical volumes) may be complicated by the pooling of multiple storage devices in order to apply redundancy plans such as mirroring and checksumming. Presented herein is a storage device driver configured to operate as a storage device interface generating representations of the storage regions of the storage devices; to claim those regions as a storage controller; and to expose pooled storage regions as logical disks. Additionally, the storage device driver may support the inclusion of storage devices in a cluster, comprising nodes that may be appointed as managers of the storage pool configuration; as managers of the storage devices; as owners having exclusive read/write access to the storage pool or cluster resources; and as cluster resource writers having excusive write access to a cluster resource. The nodes of the cluster may interoperate to share the storage devices while avoiding write conflicts.

    摘要: Described are embodiments which allow token-based file operations. The client may request a special offload file operation that is formatted according to a file access protocol. The file operation may be an offload read operation or an offload write operation. In an offload read operation, the client requests that data be logically read from a stored file, or a portion thereof. In response, the file server provides a response that includes a token that represents the logically read data. In some embodiments, the file server may return a response with a token that represents less than all of the requested data if for some reason it cannot provide a token that represents all of the data. The token can then be used by the client in a subsequent offload write operation. In embodiments, the tokens represent immutable data that can be safely and securely used across servers and clients.

    摘要: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to a zero token. In aspects, a zero token may be used to represent one or more zeroes in an offload write command. A component receiving an offload write command with the zero token is free to write the zeroes in a variety of ways including, for example, changing data structures the component uses to represent the zeroes, issuing another command that writes zeroes, writing physical zeroes, and so forth. A component receiving an offload write command with the zero token does not need to verify that the zero token was obtained from a successful offload read or that the zero token is still valid. In response to an offload read request, a component may provide the zero token to represent all or a portion of the data associated with the offload read request.

    摘要: In one embodiment, a host application may manage a data set maintained at a storage device using a token. A processor 220 of a host computer executing a host application may obtain a token representing a data set. The processor 220 may read a data set result based on the data set into a memory local to the host application. The data set result may be a data set copy, a data set digest, or a data set transformation.

    摘要: The storage of data sets in a storage set (e.g., data sets written to hard disk drives comprising a RAID array) may diminish the performance of the storage set through non-sequential writes, particularly if the storage devices promptly write data sets that are followed by sequentially following data sets. Additionally, storage sets may exhibit inconsistencies due to non-atomic writes of data sets and verifiers (e.g., checksums) and an intervening failure, such as an occurrence of the RAID write hole. Instead, data sets and verifiers may first be written to a stored on the nonvolatile media of a storage device before being committed to the storage set. Such writes may be sequentially written to the journal, irrespective of the locations of the data sets in the storage set; and recovery of a failure may simply involve re-committing the consistent records in the journal to correct incomplete writes to the storage set.

    摘要翻译: 将数据集存储在存储集中(例如,写入包含RAID阵列的硬盘驱动器的数据集)可能会通过非顺序写入来降低存储集的性能,特别是如果存储设备及时写入遵循的数据集 通过顺序跟随数据集。 此外,由于数据集和验证器(例如,校验和)的非原子写入以及诸如RAID写入孔的发生的中间故障,存储器组可能表现出不一致。 相反,在提交到存储集之前,数据集和验证器可以首先被写入到存储设备的非易失性介质上。 这样的写入可以顺序地写入日志,而不管存储集中的数据集的位置如何; 并且恢复故障可能只是简单地涉及在日志中重新提交一致的记录来纠正对存储集的不完整写入。
