    摘要: A method for caching a block of data. The method including receiving a request to store the block and determining whether an active cache is able to expand. If the active cache is able to expand, then expanding the active cache to obtain an expanded active cache, and storing the block in the expanded active cache. If the active cache is not able to expand, then determining whether evictable blocks are present in the victim cache. If evictable blocks are present in the victim cache, then evicting a sufficient number of the evictable blocks from the victim cache to facilitate storing the block in the active cache, where the evictable blocks in the victim cache are compressed.

    摘要: A method for allocating space on a disk involving receiving a request to allocate space on the disk having a first size, determining whether contiguous space of the first size exists on the disk. If contiguous space of the first size exists on the disk, allocating the contiguous space on the disk to obtain a contiguous space address, and responding to the request to allocate space on disk with a contiguous space pointer. If no contiguous space of the first size exists on the disk, allocating a gang block header, populating the gang block header, and responding to the request to allocate space on the disk with a gang block header pointer.

    摘要: A computer readable medium includes executable instructions for resilvering a hierarchical block tree in a storage pool. Resilvering the hierarchical block tree involves traversing a branch of the hierarchical block tree only if a birth time of a parent block of the branch is greater than or equal to a lowest birth time on a dirty time log (DTL). Resilvering the hierarchical block tree further involves resilvering a child block in the branch only if the DTL comprises a birth time of the child block.
