    摘要: In accordance with one or more aspects, one or more portions of each of multiple files that have been freed are determined. One or more delete notifications are generated identifying the one or more portions of the multiple files. Each portion is identified as a range of data on a storage device, and each delete notification includes one or more ranges of data on the storage device. These generated delete notifications are then sent to a storage stack. Additionally, an application can determine that one or more ranges of data of a storage device are to be freed and send a delete notification, in the absence of a file system on the device, to the storage stack identifying the one or more ranges of data of the storage device that are to be freed.

    摘要: A delete notification can be received at a storage stack filter in a storage stack. It can be determined whether the delete notification applies to an entire storage device. If the delete notification does not apply to the entire storage device, a first set of actions can be taken with the storage stack filter in response to the delete notification. If the delete notification does apply to the entire storage device, a second set of actions can be taken with the storage stack filter in response to the delete notification.

    摘要: A storage stack delete notification can be received at a storage stack filter. The delete notification can indicate deletion of primary data in a primary storage region. Secondary data that is taking up storage resources managed by the storage stack filter can be identified. The secondary data can be associated with the primary storage region, and the storage resources can be resources other than the primary storage region. It can be determined whether it is useful to have the secondary data continue taking up the storage resources. If having the secondary data continue taking up the storage resources is not useful, then the storage resources can be freed.

    摘要: Embodiments include a file system data structure and file system recognition APIs that may allow an operating system to identify a partition of a storage device as having a valid file system, even if the operating system does not know how to access the file system a priori. File systems can implement these data structures in a standardized, known location within a partition on the storage device such that an operating system may use APIs or other functions to examine the known location for the presence of these data structures. Information on how to interpret the data structure may be obtained using a network or other source.

    摘要: An application programming interface (API) module provides access to data, independent of filesystem implementation in a non-privileged user mode. A discovery volume having a filesystem recognizable by an operating system has cover files which prevent damage to data stored in an unrecognizable primary volume. The discovery volume also includes a data access API available for execution in a non-privileged user mode to render the primary volume accessible by operating systems which would otherwise find the primary volume unrecognizable.
