Patent number: 11442898Abstract: Techniques described herein relate to systems and methods of data storage, and more particularly to providing layering of file system functionality on an object interface. In certain embodiments, file system functionality may be layered on cloud object interfaces to provide cloud-based storage while allowing for functionality expected from a legacy applications. For instance, POSIX interfaces and semantics may be layered on cloud-based storage, while providing access to data in a manner consistent with file-based access with data organization in name hierarchies. Various embodiments also may provide for memory mapping of data so that memory map changes are reflected in persistent storage while ensuring consistency between memory map changes and writes. For example, by transforming a ZFS file system disk-based storage into ZFS cloud-based storage, the ZFS file system gains the elastic nature of cloud storage.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2020Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: ORACLE INTERNATIONAL CORPORATIONInventors: James Kremer, Mark Maybee, Natalie Ross, Pascal Ledru, Victor Latushkin, Ankit Gureja, Kimberly Morneau, Jingfei Zhang, Gavin Gibson
