Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method used in a network attached storage platform. When a slice of data in the platform exceeds a certain size threshold, it is divided into multiple smaller slices. This process continues until all slices in a share have been evaluated. The result is a list of these new smaller slices.
Original Abstract Submitted
One example method includes, in a network attached storage platform, determining a size of a slice of data that is included in a share of the network attached storage platform, when the size of the slice exceeds a threshold, re-slicing the slice to generate multiple new slices, and each of the new slices has a size that is smaller than the threshold, and when all slices in the share have been evaluated in terms of their respective sizes, generating a slice list that includes the new slices.
