Abstract:
Systems for accessing client data is described. A request to access a first data block is received. The request indicates a first logical address referencing the first data block. First mapping data is employed to identify a first physical addresses corresponding to the first logical addresses. The first mapping data encodes a first LOM transaction ID and candidate local addresses. The first mapping data is employed to identify the candidate local address and the first LOM transaction ID. A usage table is employed to determine the current status of the first LOM transaction ID. The candidate local address is employed to access the first data block. Second mapping data is employed to identify an updated local address of the set of local addresses. The updated local address currently references the first data block. The updated local address is employed to access the first data block.
