Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media are disclosed for binding a process to a wildcard address and a port on a plurality of nodes of a cluster. A process receives a first request for a first address of a first volume that is sent to the port and a first address associated with a first virtual local area network that is not the wildcard address. The process determines the first address, a name of the first VLAN, and a first node that contains information regarding the first volume. The process determines an address of the first node that is part of the first VLAN. The address of the first node is returned. The process receives another request for a second address of a second volume that is sent to the port and a second address associated with another VLAN that is not the wildcard address.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, computer-readable mediums, and methods for receiving client quality of service values associated with a first client. Client metrics of a volume in a storage system are determined for the first client. The client metrics reflect usage of the storage system by the first client. A client load value based is determined upon the client metrics. A quality of service management policy for the first client is determined from a plurality of quality of service management policies based upon the client load value. Each quality of service management policy comprises a formula based on a quality of service parameter. A client target performance value is determined based upon the formula of the quality of service management policy and the received client quality of service values. Performance of the storage system is adjusted for the first client based upon the client target performance value.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatuses, including computer programs encoded on computer-readable media, for receiving a write request that includes data and a client address at which to store the data. The data is segmented into the one or more storage units. A storage unit identifier for each of the one or more storage units is computed that uniquely identifies content of a storage unit. A mapping between each storage unit identifier to a block server is determined. For each of the one or more storage units, the storage unit and the corresponding storage unit identifier is sent to a block server. The block server stores the storage unit and information on where the storage unit is stored on the block server for the storage unit identifier. Multiple client addresses associated with a storage unit with the same storage unit identifier are mapped to a single storage unit.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, computer-readable mediums, and methods for incremental block level backup. An initial backup of a volume is created at a backup server, where creating the initial backup includes retrieving an original metadata file from a metadata server, and retrieving a copy of all data of the volume based on the original metadata file. A first incremental backup of the volume is then created at the backup server, where creating the first incremental backup includes retrieving a first metadata file, where the first metadata file was created separately from the original metadata file. A block identifier of the first metadata file is compared to a corresponding block identifier of the original metadata file to determine a difference between the first and original block identifiers, and a copy of a changed data block of the volume is retrieved based on the comparison of the first and original block identifiers.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, computer-readable mediums, and methods for reading a sequence number from regions of a solid state storage device. A latest region is determined based upon the sequence numbers and a checkpoint file is read within the latest region. A request for a block of data of a first branch is received. A first block of pointers associated with the first branch from the checkpoint file is read. A first pointer from the first block of pointers and a second block of pointers pointed to by the first pointer are read. A second pointer from the second block of pointers and a third block of pointers pointed to by the second pointer are read. A third pointer from the third block of pointers and data pointed to by the third pointer are read. The block of data of the first branch is determined based upon the read data. The block of data is returned.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, computer-readable mediums, and methods for efficiency sets in a distributed system. A first efficiency set is determined for a first volume of data. Determining the first efficiency set includes selecting block identifiers for data blocks of the first volume, where each block identifier is used to access a particular data block corresponding to the first volume. Determining the first efficiency set further includes applying a mask to the selected block identifiers to mask at least one bit of each selected block identifier. The first efficiency set is compared to a second efficiency set for a second data store, and based on the comparison, an amount of unique data blocks of the first volume is approximated.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, computer-readable mediums, and methods for determining a load value for each of a plurality of volume servers in a storage system. The storage system stores data from a plurality of clients. Each volume server comprises a plurality of slices, each of which contains data associated with a client. A first volume server is determined to be overloaded based upon the load value for the first volume server being above a predetermined threshold. A slice located on the first volume server is selected to relocate. A second volume server is determined to relocate the slice to based on the load value of the second volume server.
