Abstract
A working set of data blocks to be flushed from a cache to non-volatile data storage is identified, and a physical block of non-volatile data storage is allocated. At least some of the data blocks in the working set are compressed to generate compressed data blocks. The compressed data blocks are stored into the physical block of non-volatile data storage. For each one of the compressed data blocks stored into the physical block, an independent virtual layer pointer indicating a location of that compressed data block within the physical block of non-volatile data storage is stored into a single, flexibly sized virtual layer block that is allocated for storing the working set. The flexibly sized virtual layer block is part of a logical address mapping tree.
