Abstract
A write filter can be configured to employ a dynamically expandable overlay. The size of the overlay could initially be small and could then grow and shrink during the current session based on demand. The overlay can span both RAM and disk to thereby allow the size of the overlay to be relatively large. When sufficient RAM is available, the overlay can be allowed to grow in RAM. In contrast, if RAM is low, the overlay can grow on disk. Also, artifacts in the overlay can be moved from the RAM portion to the disk portion to reduce the amount of RAM consumed by the overlay. Because the overlay is dynamically expandable, it will typically not become full and will therefore not force a reboot.
