    摘要: A system and method for efficiently storing data in a storage system. A data storage subsystem includes multiple data storage locations on multiple storage devices in addition to at least one mapping table. A data storage controller determines whether data to store in the storage subsystem has one or more patterns of data intermingled with non-pattern data within an allocated block. Rather than store the one or more pattern on the storage devices, the controller stores information in a header on the storage devices. The information includes at least an offset for the first instance of a pattern, a pattern length, and an identification of the pattern. The data may be reconstructed for a corresponding read request from the information stored in the header.

    摘要: A system and method for exposing volumes with underlying read-write mediums to user operations. When a medium is in the process of being migrated to a storage array, a volume which relies on the medium can be exposed to user operations (e.g., snapshots, read and write operations) once the portions of the medium which underlie the volume have been migrated. The volume can be exposed to user operations while one or more other portions of the medium are unfilled and while the medium is in an intermediate read-write state.

    摘要: Systems, methods, and computer readable storage mediums for performing remote replication including receiving, by a target storage system, an indication that a dataset stored on a source storage system will be replicated to the target storage system; identifying, by the target storage system, portions of the dataset that are not already stored on the target storage system; and initiating, by the target storage system, replication of one or more of the portions of the dataset that are not already stored on the target storage system from a source other than the source storage system.
