Abstract
A method is provided for managing a file system including data objects. The data objects, indirect pointers and source pointers are stored in containers that have addresses and include addressable units of a memory. The objects are mapped to addresses for corresponding containers. The indirect pointer in a particular container points to the address of a container in which the corresponding object is stored. The source pointer in the particular container points to the address of the container to which the object in the particular container is mapped. An object in a first container is moved to a second container. The source pointer in the first container is used to find a third container to which the object is mapped. The indirect pointer in the third container is updated to point to the second container. The source pointer in the second container is updated to point to the third container.
