A dynamically expandable and contractible fault-tolerant storage system permits variously sized storage devices. Data is stored redundantly across one or more storage devices if possible. The layout of data across the one or more storage devices is automatically reconfigured as storage devices are added or removed in order to provide an appropriate level of redundancy for the data to the extent possible. A hash-based compression technique may be used to reduce storage consumption. Techniques for freeing unused storage blocks are also disclosed.
L'invention porte sur un système de mémoire dynamiquement extensible et contractible insensible aux défaillances qui permet d'obtenir des dispositifs mémoire de tailles diverses. L'invention permet de reconfigurer automatiquement la répartition des données dans le ou les dispositifs mémoire au fur et à mesure que des dispositifs mémoire sont ajoutés ou retirés afin de fournir un niveau de redondance approprié autant que possible. Une technique de compression par hachage peut être utilisée pour réduire la consommation mémoire. L'invention concerne également des procédés permettant de libérer des blocs mémoire inutilisés.
