摘要： A method, including defining a snapshot referencing a source partition of a storage volume on a storage device, and receiving a request to write a block of data to the source partition. Upon receiving the write request, a delayed instant copy operation is initiated by allocating a target partition on the storage device and replacing, in the storage volume, the source partition with the target partition. A definition of a condition for completion of the delayed instant copy operation is received, and the delayed instant copy operation is completed upon the condition being met.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention relate to throttling accesses to a flash memory device. The flash memory device is part of a storage system that includes the flash memory device and a second memory device. The throttling is performed by logic that is external to the flash memory device and includes calculating a throttling factor responsive to an estimated remaining lifespan of the flash memory device. It is determined whether the throttling factor exceeds a threshold. Data is written to the flash memory device in response to determining that the throttling factor does not exceed the threshold. Data is written to the second memory device in response to determining that the throttling factor exceeds the threshold.
