Publication number: US20220027065A1

Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or computing devices are provided for resynchronization. For example, a request may be received to create pseudo snapshots of a first consistency group, hosted by a first storage controller, and a second consistency group, hosted by a second storage controller, having a synchronous replication relationship with the first consistency group. Incoming client write requests are logged within an intercept tracking log at the first storage controller. After a first drain without hold of incoming write requests is performed, a first pseudo common snapshot of the second consistency group is created. After a second drain without hold of incoming write operations is performed, a second pseudo common snapshot of the first consistency group and the intercept tracking log is created. The pseudo snapshots and the intercept tracking log (e.g., indicating a delta between the pseudo snapshots) are used to resynchronize the first and second consistency groups.

Publication number: US20220027314A1

Abstract:
Techniques are provided for managing objects within an object store. An object is maintained within an object store. The object comprises a plurality of slots. Each slot is used to store a unit of data accessible to applications hosted by remote computing devices. The object comprises an object header used to store metadata for each slot. A determination is made that the object is a fragmented object comprising an in-use slot of in-use data and a freed slot from which data was freed. The object is compacted to retain in-use data and exclude freed data as a rewritten object.

Publication number: US20220027313A1

Abstract:
Techniques are provided for an object file system for an object store. Data, maintained by a computing device, is stored into slots of an object. The data within the slots of the object is represented as a data structure comprising a plurality of nodes comprising cloud block numbers used to identify the object and particular slots of the object. A mapping metafile is maintained to map block numbers used to store the data by the computing device to cloud block numbers of nodes representing portion of the data stored within slots of the object. The object is stored into the object store, and the mapping metafile and the data structure are used to provide access through the object file system to portions of data within the object.
