METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR ADAPTIVE MATCHING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17865209 Titled 'METHOD, DEVICE, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT FOR ADAPTIVE MATCHING'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes a method for automatically matching the block size of a transactional file system with the input/output (IO) size of a client. The method involves creating a share domain on a first file system with a certain block size. The block size of the share domain is then determined to be different from the block size of the first file system. If a second file system has a block size that matches the determined block size, the share domain is migrated from the first file system to the second file system. This approach simplifies user operations, improves convenience, reduces storage space fragments and indirect blocks, and enhances the performance of a storage system.


Original Abstract Submitted

Adaptive matching is provided, which is used to automatically match a block size of a transactional file system with an IO size of a client. An example method includes creating a share domain, wherein the share domain is created on a first file system, and a block size of the first file system is a first block size. The method further includes determining a block size of the share domain as a second block size, wherein the second block size is not equal to the first block size. If a block size of a second file system is the second block size, the share domain is migrated from the first file system to the second file system. By implementing the present application, it is possible to simplify user operations, improve operational convenience, and help to reduce storage space fragments and indirect blocks, thereby further improving the performance of a storage system.
