FACILITATING MULTIPLE DEVICE CONSUMPTION OF SHARED NAMESPACES OF EPHMERMAL STORAGE DEVICES BY A CONSUMER OF A VIRTUAL STORAGE DEVICE

Abstract: systems and methods for multiple device consumption of shared namespaces of ephemeral storage devices by a consumer of a virtual storage system are provided. in an example, multiple namespaces of respective ephemeral storage devices are shared among multiple consumers of a virtual storage system by creating multiple partitions within each of the namespaces for use by respective consumers of the multiple consumers. corresponding partitions of respective shared namespace may then be treated as a stripe set to facilitate multiple device consumption for a subsystem (e.g., operation log journaling) of the virtual storage system by striping data associated with input/output (i/o) requests of a consumer (e.g., a journaling driver) across one or more stripe units of one or more stripes within the stripe set.
