A method, system and a computer program product for managing file system memory includes a module configured to implement a separate replacement policy and a separate index for a persistent second level adaptive replacement cache (L2ARC) logically part of a first level ARC. The system also includes a module configured to cluster compressed chunks of data on multiple physical devices via aligning the clusters of data chunks on a byte boundary basis on each of the devices. The method additionally includes a module configured to create a storage pool allocator (SPA) to track the compressed and packed chunks on the multiple devices via an attached active page and attached multiple closed pages. The method further includes re-adding an evicted data from the L2ARC to an active page to be written again thereto based on a configurable threshold number of hits to data in the L2ARC via an L2ARC hit counter.

Sprocket

Apparatus particularly advantageous for use as part of a bicycle or other chain drive assembly featuring a single plate formed to embody a plurality of drive sprockets. A preferred embodiment illustrated is comprised of a plate the central portion of which is dished and offset to a plane parallel to that occupied by an outer annular portion which embodies a set of sprocket teeth on its outer periphery. The offset plate portions are rigidly fixed in their respective positions by strip-like connectors which extend from the outer periphery of the dished portion of the plate to the inner periphery of said annular plate portion. The central dished portion of the plate is flat and has a disc-like configuration which also embodies sprocket teeth on its outer periphery, intermediate notched portions thereof from which extend the radial connector strips. Also featured is a plate-like chain guard which has a dished configuration. The dished portion of the guard plate is designed to seat to the central disc-like portion of the sprocket plate. The seating plate portions are specifically configured to interlock by a mere rotary movement of one plate relative the other in the seating process.
