Abstract
A computer system (e.g. a file system) for managing blocks, comprises a memory unit including a memory and a processing unit including a processor and coupled to the memory unit. The memory unit is configured to store metadata of data including objects. The metadata points to blocks storing the objects in a storage unit including multiple different sized blocks. The processing unit is configured to, for at least one of the objects, determine different sized blocks for storing the object, from among free blocks in the multiple different sized blocks of the storage unit.
