    Abstract: One embodiment provides a method for storage management in a hierarchical file system. The method includes tracking directories for sub-file systems of the hierarchical file system. A request for a unique directory in the hierarchical file system is received. The sub-file system of the hierarchical file system containing the unique directory is provided while ensuring that each directory resides in only one sub-file system. The system also maintains, in a top-file system, a corresponding directory and a symbolic pointer which points from the corresponding directory to a sub-file system where a given directory resides. Creation of new directories in sub-file systems also includes creation of corresponding directories in the top-file system and symbolic pointers from corresponding directory to new directory.

    Abstract: In an approach to backup and restore one or more clone file trees, one or more processors generate a clone management table. One or more processors record a clone management information in the clone management table about each clone file. To backup a clone file, one or more processors update the clone management information, and store one or more data blocks that are in the clone file trees. To restore a clone file, one or more processors analyze a clone management information and restore one or more data blocks in the clone file. To restore a clone file parent, one or more processors analyze a clone management information and restore one or more data blocks in the clone file parent. To restore a clone file tree, one or more processors analyze a clone management information and restore one or more data blocks in the clone file tree.

    Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to managing compressed data to optimize file compression. A compression is performed on a first set of data to create a first set of compressed data partitions in a compression group. A partition table is constructed, and partition entries for the first data block are added to the table in conjunction with the first set. A current size of the compression group is assessed. In response to a compression ratio being greater than a target compression ratio and internal fragmentation of the compression group being smaller than a threshold, the compression group is dynamically completed. The dynamic completion decides a size for the compression group. The partition table is added to the compression group by assigning space within the first compression group for the table. The compression group is written to persistent storage.
