Abstract:
Systems, methods, and storage media for using the otherwise-unutilized storage space on a storage device without having a substantial effect on the normal operation of the storage device by one or more users accessing the storage device through one or more primary file organization architecture controllers of the storage device are disclosed. Implementations may: identify, by a secondary file organization architecture controller, logical units of separation present on the virtual storage device without affecting operation of the primary file organization architecture of the computer; identify unutilized storage space on at least one of the logical units of separation; cause auxiliary data to be stored store in the unutilized storage space; record, in a data storage associated with the secondary file organization architecture, the state of the auxiliary data without notifying the primary file organization architecture controller; and retrieve at least some of the auxiliary data without notifying the file organization architecture controller.
