Abstract
In a computer system supporting memory compression, wherein memory compressed data is managed in units of memory sectors of size S, wherein data is stored on disk in a different compressed format, and wherein data on said disk is managed in units of disk sectors of size D, a method for storing memory compressed data on a compressed disk includes combining at least one of compressed memory directory information, a system header, compressed data controls, and pads into a data structure having a same size S as a memory sector, grouping the data structure and the data contained in the desired memory sectors into groups of D/S items, and storing each of the groups in a separate disk sector.
