    Abstract: A system and method are provided to manage storage space. The method comprises suspending a request responsive to detecting of a condition indicating a lack of a resource necessary to serve the request; applying a resource management procedure to increase availability of the resource; and, responsive to successful completion of the resource management procedure, serving the request.

    Abstract translation: 提供了一种管理存储空间的系统和方法。 该方法包括:响应于检测到表示缺少所需资源的条件来暂停请求; 应用资源管理程序来增加资源的可用性; 并响应成功完成资源管理程序,为该请求提供服务。

    Abstract: A system and method are provided to manage storage space. The method comprises detecting a free storage space threshold condition for a storage volume and automatically applying a space management technique to achieve a free storage space threshold condition. Space management techniques comprise deleting selected backup data (e.g., persistent consistency point images) and automatically increasing the size of the storage volume.

    Abstract: A storage system, such as a file server, creates persistent consistency point images (PCPI) or “snapshots” that are point-in-time representations of the storage system. The storage system uses persistent consistency point images to backup or mirror data. Using data already found in the data block maps associated with these PCPI, the amount of space used by a set of these consistency points can be determined.

    Abstract: A file system receives a request to set a capacity guarantee for a virtual volume associated with a logical aggregation of physical storage. In response, the file system sets the capacity guarantee to indicate that the logical aggregation of physical storage is to provide a specified amount of space to the virtual volume. The amount of space provided to the virtual volume may be based, at least in part, on a guarantee type. The guarantee type may include, for example, volume, file, none, or partial.
