Abstract
According to one embodiment, a file system (FS) of a storage system is partitioned into a plurality of FS partitions, where each FS partition stores segments of data files. In response to an input and output (IO) request for accessing a first of the FS partitions, a second of the FS partitions is selected that is currently in a ready state for access. The second FS partition is then removed from the ready state for access. The first FS partition is brought into a ready state for access.
