Abstract

A system can establish a primary file system on a block array of computer storage, wherein the block array comprises a range of addresses, wherein the primary file system is configured to address the range of addresses. The system can establish a shadowed file system on the block array, wherein the shadowed file system is configured to access portions of the block array that are unused by the primary file system. The system can, in response to receiving a request to write data to the primary file system, and in response to determining that an amount of the block array utilized by the primary file system is full, transfer a first portion of the block array utilized by the shadowed file system to the primary file system.
