Abstract

Partial commits of file layouts can be performed and managed. In response to a file layout request from a client device (CD), a server can communicate, to CD, first extent list data, comprising a first mapping of a group of blocks, in a data store of the server, to which CD is able to write data to the file. CD can write, and track the writing of, data to first blocks, but not second blocks, of the group of blocks. CD can generate second extent list data comprising a second mapping of the first blocks in the data store to which data is written. CD can communicate a partial commit request, comprising the second extent list data, to the server. In response to the partial commit request, the server can commit the second mapping relating to the first blocks to the data store.
