Abstract:
A management of capacity types with different consumption policies for an object in a computing storage system is performed by updating a reference type bitmap in a segment-fragment table containing segments that reference fragments upon the creation of a segment for an object. A reference is created in an object-segment reference table, between the object and the segment, in compliance with a consumption policy upon the creation of one of the segments for the object. The reference types that reference the segment are removed upon deletion of the segment.
