In one example, a request for storage of an extended attribute (EA) of a file system object is received. A storage location for the EA is determined from a plurality of storage locations, based on one or more characteristics of the EA, the plurality of storage locations including an inode, a first storage file accessible by a first B+ tree, and a second storage file accessible by a second B+ tree. The EA is accordingly stored in the determined storage location.

Extended attribute storage

Embodiments of the present invention provide a computer system, comprising at least two logical partitions, each partition having allocated computing resources, wherein the computing resources allocated to a first partition include memory storing a file system accessible by processes executing in the first partition; and a partition resource allocator, wherein the partition resource allocator is arranged to migrate the memory storing the file system from the first partition to a second partition, such that the file system is accessible by processes executing in the second partition.
