Latest Patents

One of his latest patents is titled "Providing file system quota support for a file system having separated data and metadata." This patent describes techniques for performing quota management in a distributed file system. An allocation quota specifies an upper limit of storage for allocation for a quota set of the distributed file system. The distributed file system includes metadata file system(s) and data file system(s). For files in the distributed file system, metadata is stored in one of the metadata file systems, while file content data is stored in the data file systems. A quota coordinator partitions the allocation quota among the data file systems. The data file systems act as allocators of storage, each receiving a portion of the allocation quota that specifies an upper limit of storage available for allocation for the quota set. Storage is allocated for client requests, and this allocation is performed by each of the data file systems in accordance with the portion of the allocation quota assigned.
