TLDR
In this article, a data services module performs log storage operations in response to requests by storing data on one or more storage devices, and appending information pertaining to the requests to a separate metadata log.Abstract:
A data services module performs log storage operations in response to requests by storing data on one or more storage devices, and appending information pertaining to the requests to a separate metadata log. A log order of the metadata log may correspond to an order in which the requests were received, regardless of the order in which data of the requests are written to the storage devices. The requests may correspond to identifiers of a logical address space. The data services module implements an any-to-any translation layer configured to map identifiers of the logical address space to the stored data. The virtualization module may include a metadata management module configured to checkpoint the translation layer metadata by, inter alia, appending aggregate, checkpoint entries to the metadata log. The data services module may leverage the translation layer between the logical identifiers and underlying storage locations to efficiently implement logical manipulation operations.read more

Systems and methods for storage metadata management
TL;DR: In this paper, a storage layer may be configured to over-provision logical storage resources to objects in response to, inter alia, a request to open and/or create a zero-length file.

Systems and methods to manage cache data storage in working memory of computing system
Woon Ho Jung,Nakul Dhotre +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cache index is created and maintained to track where records are stored in buckets in the storage cache, and bucket addresses stored in the cache index include a generation number of the bucket that is used to determine whether the cached record is stale.

The design and implementation of a log-structured file system
Mendel Rosenblum,John Ousterhout +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a log-structured file system called Sprite LFS is proposed, which uses a segment cleaner to compress the live information from heavily fragmented segments in order to speed up file writing and crash recovery.

Mnemosyne: lightweight persistent memory
TL;DR: In tests emulating the performance characteristics of forthcoming SCMs, Mnemosyne can persist data as fast as 3 microseconds and can be up to 1400% faster than alternative persistence strategies, such as Berkeley DB or Boost serialization, that are designed for disks.
Patent
Flash file system
TL;DR: The provision of a flash memory (12), virtual mapping system, which includes a flash controller (14) and a random access memory (16) for storing mapping tables, that allows data to be continuously written to unwritten physical address locations, is discussed in this paper.
