Abstract
A method and apparatus for implementing a storage optimization process is provided. The method includes identifying a file for storage on a storage device. The storage device determines that the file comprises a file size that exceeds multiple physical disk blocks of the storage device by a fractional value. The file is divided into a first portion and a second portion. The first portion comprises a file size such that the first portion fits entirely within a first single block of the storage device. The second portion comprises a size such that the second portion exceeds a size of a second single block of the storage device by the fractional value. The first portion is stored within the first single block. The second portion is compressed such that a resulting compressed file fits entirely within the second single block.
