Abstract: Technologies are generally described for a multi-layer file system. In the multi-layer file system, a file is arranged into two or more data blocks respectively associated with corresponding multi-entry file indices. Each multi-entry file index can point to a location index at the beginning of a linked list (an initial entry in the linked list). The linked list may have at least one location index as an entry to identify a location in the storage device where the associated data block is stored.

Abstract translation: 技术通常用于多层文件系统。 在多层文件系统中，将文件排列成分别与对应的多入口文件索引相关联的两个或多个数据块。 每个多条目文件索引可以指向链表开始处的位置索引（链表中的初始条目）。 链接列表可以具有至少一个位置索引作为条目来标识存储相关联的数据块的存储设备中的位置。

Abstract: Techniques generally described are related to a flexible storage block based on solid state devices. One example method to update data stored in a storage block may include maintaining, by a flash storage module, a cluster link in the storage block for storing a file, wherein the cluster link links together a plurality of data clusters that are storage spaces provided by one or more solid state devices. The method may include, in response to a first request to update data stored in a first data cluster amongst the plurality of data clusters, allocating a second data cluster to store the updated data. The method may further include linking the second data cluster to the cluster link, wherein the linking the second data cluster to the cluster link invalidates the first data cluster in the cluster link.

Abstract: One example scalable storage system may include a first storage channel including a first storage node and a second storage node. The first storage node is coupled with the second storage node via a serial link. The scalable storage system may include a multi-channel interface including an input-channel coupled with the first storage node and an output-channel coupled with the second storage node. After receiving a request, the multi-channel interface may direct the request via the input-channel to the first storage node of the first storage channel. The first storage node may process the request. If a request segment in the request is directed to the second storage node, the serial link may transmit the request segment from the first storage node to the second storage node, allowing the second storage node to process the request segment.

Abstract: Techniques are generally described related to a scalable storage system. One example scalable storage system may include a first storage channel including a first storage node, a second storage node, and a first serial link. The first storage node is coupled with the second storage node via the first serial link. The scalable storage system may include a multi-channel interface including a first input-channel coupled with the first storage node and a first output-channel coupled with the second storage node. For a first request transmitted from a computer system and received by the multi-channel interface, the multi-channel interface is configured to direct the first request via the first input-channel to the first storage node of the first storage channel. The first storage node is configured to process the first request. Upon determining that a request segment in the first request is directed to the second storage node, the first serial link is configured to transmit the request segment from the first storage node to the second storage node, allowing the second storage node to process the request segment.
