Abstract: A method for snapshots with crash consistency is provided. The method includes indicating intent to create a snapshot of storage system contents associated with an existing snapshot copy identifier, responsive to confirmation that all of a plurality of distributed agents are in a snapshot creation mode. The method includes responding, with a new snapshot copy identifier that replaces the existing snapshot copy identifier, to one or more inquiries from the plurality of distributed agents regarding one or more I/O operations, after the indicating the intent to create the snapshot. The method includes creating the snapshot using the existing snapshot copy identifier and committing the snapshot, responsive to receiving responses from the plurality of distributed agents that service is complete for all I/O operations that started before the indicating the intent to create the snapshot or that are associated with the existing snapshot copy identifier.

Abstract: A storage system has a first memory, a second memory that include solid-state storage memory, and a processing device. The processing device is to select a mode for each portion of data to be written. Selection of the mode is based at least on size of the portion of data. Selection of the mode is from among modes that include a first mode of writing the portion of data in mirrored RAID form to the first memory for later transfer from the first memory to the second memory, a second mode of writing the portion of data in parity-based RAID form to the first memory for later transfer from the first memory to the second memory, and a third mode of writing the portion of data to the second memory, bypassing the first memory. The processing device is to handle portions of data to be written according to such selection.

Abstract: A method of replication in a distributed storage system, performed by the distributed storage system is provided. The method includes managing a first index for data or metadata in a first storage system, the first storage system having a first partitioning scheme. The method includes managing a second index for data or metadata in a second storage system, the second storage system having a second partitioning scheme. The method includes replicating the data or metadata from the first storage system to the second storage system, translating an identifier of the data or metadata from the first storage system, and mapping the replicated data or metadata into the second partitioning scheme, via the translating of the identifier of the data or metadata from the first storage system.

Abstract: A method for distribution of directories in a storage system is provided. The method includes distributing information, regarding location in the storage system of a plurality of files in a directory, to a plurality of owners in a plurality of storage nodes of the storage system, wherein ownership of differing subsets of the plurality of files of the directory is distributed among differing owners in differing storage nodes. The method includes receiving a request for location information in the storage system of a file of the plurality of files in the directory and determining, based on a file name of the file and an identity of the directory, which of the plurality of owners has ownership of the file and the location information for the file.

Abstract: A method of processing transactions associated with a command in a storage system is provided. The method includes receiving, at a first authority of the storage system, a command relating to user data. The method includes sending a transaction of the command, from the first authority to a second authority of the storage system, wherein a token accompanies the transaction and writing data in accordance with the transaction as permitted by the token into a partition that is allocated to the second authority in a storage device of the storage system.

Abstract: A method for proactively rebuilding user data in a plurality of storage nodes of a storage cluster is provided. The method includes distributing user data and metadata throughout the plurality of storage nodes such that the plurality of storage nodes can read the user data, using erasure coding, despite loss of two of the storage nodes. The method includes determining that one of the storage nodes is unreachable and determining to rebuild the user data for the one of the storage nodes that is unreachable. The method includes reading the user data across a remainder of the plurality of storage nodes, using the erasure coding and writing the user data across the remainder of the plurality of storage nodes, using the erasure coding. A plurality of storage nodes within a single chassis that can proactively rebuild the user data stored within the storage nodes is also provided.

Abstract: A method of distributed file deletion, performed by a storage system, is provided. The method includes receiving, at the storage system, a request to delete a directory and contents of the directory and adding the directory to a first set, listed in a memory in the storage system. The method includes operating on the first set, by examining each directory in the first set to identify subdirectories, adding each identified subdirectory to the first set as a directory, and adding each examined directory to a second set listed in the memory. The method includes deleting in a distributed manner across the storage system without concern for order, contents of directories, and the directories, listed in the second set.
