Patent Searching and Data


Title:
CONTAINER-LEVEL MANAGEMENT OF COMPRESSED FILE SYSTEM DATA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/164356
Kind Code:
A8
Abstract:
A file system volume's space is internally allocated as a set of containers, with each container corresponding to a different subset of storage clusters. The set of containers includes a first container corresponding to a first subset of storage clusters storing first data that is compressed according to a first set of compression attributes, a second container corresponding to a second subset of storage clusters storing second data that is uncompressed, and a third container corresponding to a third subset of storage clusters that are free. Based on determining that the second data of the second container is to be compressed, compressed second data is created based on a second set of compression attributes. The second set of compression attributes is different than the first set of compression attributes. The compressed second data is written to the third subset of storage clusters of the third container.
