    摘要: Managing file objects in a data storage system includes providing a plurality of metadata servers, each metadata server having information for only a subset of file objects in the storage system, each subset for each of the metadata servers being less than a total number of file objects for the system and includes providing at least one metadata location server, where an entity accessing a specific file object of the system determines which of the metadata servers contains data for the specific file object by first accessing the at least one metadata location server. Information for the subset of file objects may include a table having file identifiers and metadata location information. The metadata location information may point to data storage for a metadata object for a file.

    摘要: Accessing data file objects includes providing a file system interface on a client, where the file system interface allows an application running on the client to make file system calls to access the data file objects. A Web Services interface may also be provided on the client, where the Web Services interface allows an application to access file objects using the Web Services at the same time that file objects are being accessed through the file system interface. The Web Services interface may be a SOAP interface and/or a REST interface. Accessing data file objects may also include providing a direct file object interface on the client, where the direct file object interface allows an application to directly access file objects at the same time that file objects are being accessed using the Web Services interface and using the file system interface.

    摘要: Managing a plurality of files includes providing at least one server having a table with plurality of file identifiers, each of the file identifiers including a pointer to a metadata file object containing a layout storage object that indicates storage parameters for corresponding files and includes accessing a particular one of the files by obtaining information from the at least one server to access the layout storage object corresponding to the particular file to determine synchronous and asynchronous mirrors for the file. Each layout storage object may be provided as a tree and leaves of the tree may map logical addresses of a corresponding file to data storage locations. At least one internal node of the tree may indicate that at least one leaf node thereof is a mirror of an other leaf node thereof.

    摘要: Tracking storage resources includes providing a table containing storage resources along with capabilities and statuses thereof, updating the table in response to a change of status of a storage resource, updating the table in response to a change in capabilities of a storage resource and, in response to an inquiry for a storage resource having a particular capability, searching the table for a storage resource having the particular capability. Tracking storage resources may also include adding an element to the table in response to a new resource being added to the system. The capabilities may include RAID striping, data deduplication, and green operation. The status may be one of: on-line, off-line, and full.
