摘要： A read-write access to a file in a file server includes an initial metadata access step, an asynchronous read or write of file data, and a metadata commit step. In order to parallelize access to a range locking database, an inode and indirect file block mapping database, and a pre-allocation data base, operations are pipelined within the metadata access step and also within the metadata commit step. The pipelined operations within the metadata access step include a first stage of range locking, a second stage of reading block mapping metadata, and a third stage of reading and updating a pre-allocation map for write access. The pipelined operations within the metadata commit step include a first stage of releasing range locks, a second stage of accessing old block metadata for write access, and a third stage of updating metadata and flushing the pre-allocation map for write access.

摘要： A primary processor manages metadata of a production dataset and a snapshot copy, while a secondary processor provides concurrent read-write access to the primary dataset. The secondary processor determines when a first write is being made to a data block of the production dataset, and in this case sends a metadata change request to the primary data processor. The primary data processor commits the metadata change to the production dataset and maintains the snapshot copy while the secondary data processor continues to service other read-write requests. The secondary processor logs metadata changes so that the secondary processor may return a “write completed” message before the primary processor commits the metadata change. The primary data processor pre-allocates data storage blocks in such a way that the “write anywhere” method does not result in a gradual degradation in I/O performance.
摘要翻译：主处理器管理生产数据集和快照副本的元数据，而辅助处理器提供对主数据集的并发读写访问。第二处理器确定何时对生产数据集的数据块进行第一次写入，并且在这种情况下向主数据处理器发送元数据改变请求。主数据处理器将元数据更改提交给生产数据集，并在辅助数据处理器继续服务其他读写请求时维护快照副本。次要处理器记录元数据更改，以便辅助处理器可能在主处理器提交元数据更改之前返回“写入完成”消息。主数据处理器预先分配数据存储块，使得“在任何地方写入”方法不会导致I / O性能逐渐降级。

摘要： A cached disk array includes a disk storage array, a global cache memory, disk directors coupling the cache memory to the disk storage array, and front-end directors for linking host computers to the cache memory. The front-end directors service storage access requests from the host computers, and the disk directors stage requested data from the disk storage array to the cache memory and write new data to the disk storage. At least one of the front-end directors or disk directors is programmed for block resolution of virtual logical units of the disk storage, and for obtaining, from a storage allocation server, space allocation and mapping information for pre-allocated blocks of the disk storage, and for returning to the storage allocation server requests to commit the pre-allocated blocks of storage once data is first written to the pre-allocated blocks of storage.

摘要： In a data processing system, a first processor pre-allocates data blocks for use in a file system at a later time when a second processor needs data blocks for extending the file system. The second processor selectively maps the logical addresses of the pre-allocated blocks so that when the pre-allocated blocks are used in the file system, the layout of the file system on disk is improved to avoid block scatter and enhance I/O performance. The selected mapping can be done at a program layer between a conventional file system manager and a conventional logical volume layer so that there is no need to modify the data block mapping mechanism of the file system manager or the logical volume layer. The data blocks can be pre-allocated adaptively in accordance with the allocation history of the file system.
摘要翻译：在数据处理系统中，当第二处理器需要用于扩展文件系统的数据块时，第一处理器在稍后的时间预分配用于文件系统的数据块。第二处理器选择性地映射预分配块的逻辑地址，使得当在文件系统中使用预先分配的块时，改进了盘上的文件系统的布局，以避免块散射和增强I / O性能。所选择的映射可以在常规文件系统管理器和常规逻辑卷层之间的程序层完成，使得不需要修改文件系统管理器或逻辑卷层的数据块映射机制。数据块可以根据文件系统的分配历史自适应地预分配。

摘要： A protocol is provided for allocating file locking tasks between primary and secondary data mover computers in a network file server. When there is frequent read access and infrequent write access to a file, a primary data mover grants read locks to the entire file to secondary data movers, and the secondary data movers grant read locks to clients requesting read access. When write access to the file is needed, the read locks to the entire file are released and the read locks granted to the clients are released or expire or are demoted to non-conflicting byte range locks managed by the primary data mover. Concurrent read and write access to the same file is then managed by the primary data mover.

摘要： An improved policy enforcement architecture includes several components that improve the performance of policy enforcement in a hierarchical storage environment. A File System Query instruction permits a richer set of queries to be expressed by a policy engine, thereby permitting more complex policies to be implemented with ease. The File System result is generated at the file server, and only files of interest are forwarded to the policy engine. The file system query advantageously may be applied against a pre-generated index having one more characterizing attributes to further reduce the processing required to retrieve policy data. An Index Build instruction, added to a programming interface, allows a policy engine generate the characterizing indices in advance of use. Index maintenance techniques maintain consistency between the index and the file system to ensure that the policy can be enforced using accurate file information.

摘要： A file server system has a cluster of server computers that share access to a file system in shared storage. One of the server computers has primary responsibility for management of access to the file system. In order to reduce the possibility of primary server overload when a large number of the clients happen to concurrently access the same file system, most metadata processing operations are offloaded to secondary server computers. This also facilitates recovery from failure of a primary server computer since only a fraction of the ongoing metadata operations of a primary server computer is interrupted by a failure of the primary server computer. For example, a secondary data mover may truncate, delete, create, or rename a file in response to a client request.
