    摘要: It is determined that a first data unit is to be written to a storage device and that the first data unit is associated with a first attribute. In response to determining that the first data unit is associated with the first attribute, a first identifier is selected from a first identifier space and the first identifier is associated with the first data unit. It is determined that a second data unit is to be written to the storage device and that the second data unit is associated with the second attribute. In response to determining that the second data unit is associated with the second attribute, a second identifier is selected from a second identifier space and the second identifier is associated with the second data unit.

    摘要: Methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and computing devices that facilitate copy-free data migrations across filesystems. In a first step with this technology, a first set of filesystem metadata associated with a first filesystem is received. At least a portion of the first set of filesystem metadata is retrieved from a first data structure associated with the first filesystem. The first set of filesystem metadata includes a first identifier and a physical location associated with user data. A second identifier, associated with a second filesystem having a different addressing scheme than the first filesystem, is generated from at least the first identifier. A second set of filesystem metadata including the second identifier and the physical location is stored such that at least the second identifier is stored in a second data structure associated with the second filesystem.
