    Abstract: Various implementations of hard disk track management method, device, and system disclosed herein enable improvements of file system write bandwidth. In various implementations, a method is performed at a disk storage including a file controller controlling a disk drive with a disk platter that is divided into multiple regions including a fast region. In various implementations, the method includes receiving a write request associated with data to be written to the disk drive and in response, determining a disk utilization of the disk drive. In various implementations, the method further includes placing the disk drive in a surge mode to write the data to the fast region upon determining that the disk utilization is above a first threshold, and placing the disk drive in a non-surge mode to write the data to other regions of the multiple regions upon determining that the disk utilization is below a second threshold.

    Abstract: A disclosed method is performed at a fault-tolerant object-based storage system including M data storage entities, each is configured to store data on an object-basis. The method includes obtaining a request to store N copies of a data object and in response, storing the N copies of the data object across the M data storage entities, where the N copies are distributed across the M data storage entities. The method additionally includes generating a first parity object for a first subset of M copies of the N copies of the data object, where the first parity object is stored on a first parity storage entity separate from the M data storage entities. The method also includes generating a manifest linking the first parity object with one or more other subsets of M copies of the N copies of the data object.

    Abstract: A disclosed method is performed at a fault-tolerant object-based storage system configured to synthesize parity data in order to protect stored data from loss, the fault-tolerant object storage system including a plurality of storage entities each configured to store data on an object-basis. The method includes determining a first parity value for a first data block set of one or more data block sets, wherein the first data block set comprises one or more respective data blocks, each respective data block associated with a respective storage entity of the plurality of storage entities. The method further includes generating a first compressed parity indicator for the first data block set, corresponding to the first parity value, and storing the first compressed parity indicator in a stripe of parity data in place of the first parity value within a first block set comprising the first data block set.
