Abstract
A distributed storage system includes multiple partitions. A block received for storage is striped across the partitions if it meets predetermined criteria. Multiple tables are maintained for indexing the blocks and the subblocks of blocks that are partitioned. The tables for the subblocks and the tables for the corresponding blocks of the subblocks are updated to include metadata for the subblocks for retrieving the subblocks in response to a request for a corresponding stored block.
