    摘要: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to offload reads and writes. In aspects, a requestor that seeks to transfer data sends a request for a representation of the data. In response, the requestor receives one or more tokens that represent the data. The requestor may then provide one or more of these tokens to a component with a request to write data represented by the one or more tokens. In some exemplary applications, the component may use the one or more tokens to identify the data and may then read the data or logically write the data without additional interaction with the requestor. Tokens may be invalidated by request or based on other factors.

    摘要: Embodiments include a file system data structure and file system recognition APIs that may allow an operating system to identify a partition of a storage device as having a valid file system, even if the operating system does not know how to access the file system a priori. File systems can implement these data structures in a standardized, known location within a partition on the storage device such that an operating system may use APIs or other functions to examine the known location for the presence of these data structures. Information on how to interpret the data structure may be obtained using a network or other source.

    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: 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。
