Publication number: 20240118981Abstract: Techniques are provided for failing over an aggregate from one file system instance to a different file system instance of a distributed scale-out storage system. The aggregate may be stored within distributed storage that is accessible to a plurality of file system instances of the distributed scale-out storage system. When the aggregate is failed over from a first file system instance to a second file system instance, the first file system instance may still have a valid read lease that allows the first file system instance to serve client I/O, directed to the aggregate, using a cache. In order to prevent the first file system instance from serving stale data from the cache before the read lease expires, state machines and a set of control data are used to ensure that the second file system instance attaches to the aggregate only after the read lease has expired.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2022Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Yash Hetal Trivedi, Daniel McCarthy, Ananthan Subramanian, William Arthur Gutknecht, Kevin Daniel Varghese, Swaroop Vikram Choudhari, Abdul Basit, Christopher Clark Corey, Chad Edmund Schneider

Patent number: 11693737Abstract: A technique provides efficient data protection, such as erasure coding, for data blocks of volumes served by storage nodes of a cluster. Data blocks associated with write requests of unpredictable client workload patterns may be compressed. A set of the compressed data blocks may be selected to form a write group and an erasure code may be applied to the group to algorithmically generate one or more encoded blocks in addition to the data blocks. Due to the unpredictability of the data workload patterns, the compressed data blocks may have varying sizes. A pool of the various-sized compressed data blocks may be established and maintained from which the data blocks of the write group are selected. Establishment and maintenance of the pool enables selection of compressed data blocks that are substantially close to the same size and, thus, that require minimal padding.Type: GrantFiled: November 16, 2021Date of Patent: July 4, 2023Assignee: NetApp, Inc.Inventors: Sneheet Kumar Mishra, Daniel David McCarthy, Christopher Clark Corey, Austino Nicholas Longo, Christopher Cason
