摘要： A technique is provided whereby a stream of data located in a first storage location is registered for migration administration and according to preset criteria, portion(s) of the stream of data that are suited to another storage location are migrated to maximize system storage efficiencies. The file system may have use of facilities that enable the monitoring of files/streams that have been registered for migration administration or files/streams may be polled according to preset criteria. If the stream of data has portions to migrate to another storage location, the hierarchical storage management (HSM) system migrates the data to the other storage location, such as to long term or off-line storage, and preserves the data relationships of the stream via metadata. The technique allows for multiple volumes to be spanned by the migration target location, and multiple file systems may service the source and target.

摘要： A method for concurrent data migration includes classifying files to be migrated into plural jobs, selecting media to which to migrate each job, and using plural drives concurrently to write the jobs to the media. The selection of a medium is performed in a way that prevents the number of writeable media from exceeding the number of available drives, unless no allocated medium has sufficient space to store any files in a migration job. A medium is preferentially selected that has already been allocated for writing, has space to store at least one file in the job, is not in use for another job, and can be robotically mounted on a drive. If such a medium does not exist, then the set of available media is canvassed to locate an alternative medium. The attributes of each medium are evaluated to determine which medium can be selected most consistently with the goals of (1) preventing the number of media from exceeding the number of drives, and (2) providing sufficient media to allow plural drives to be used concurrently. The technique can be embodied in a file management environment that transparently migrates files meeting certain criteria and stores the location of the migrated file in a reparse point provided by the file system.

摘要： A technique for recalling data objects stored on media. A queue is created for each medium on which data objects are located, where each request to recall a data object is placed on the queue corresponding to the medium on which the data object is located. A queue is “active” when its corresponding medium is mounted and being used for recall; otherwise the queue is “non-active.” A thread is created for each active queue, where the thread retrieves from a medium the requested items on the active queue. When plural drives are available for mounting and reading media, plural queues may be active concurrently, so that the plural queues' respective threads may recall items from the plural media in parallel. Preferably, the requests on each queue are organized in an order such that the offset locations of the requested items form two monotonically increasing sequences.

摘要： An extensible file system format for portable storage media is provided. The extensible file system format includes the specification of primary and secondary directory entry types that may be custom defined. The primary and secondary directory entry types can be further classified as critical and benign directory entries.

摘要： The invention provides a system and method for dynamically unloading file system filters in a stacked-call-back model where filters are stacked one on top of the other to form a filter stack. A filter manager keeps track of the progress of each I/O operation and calls each filter in turn with the filter returning after it has completed processing the given operation. The filter manager dynamically unloads a filter (or an instance of a filter) that is positioned at any position in the filter stack in a reasonable amount of time while I/O operations are actively being processed. The filter/filter instance can be unloaded with outstanding I/O operations on the filter either hosted by the filter or pended by other filters. I/O operations are canceled, completed or drained in order to unload the filter or filter instance. A filter may veto the unloading of the filter.
