  • Patent number: 9356992
    Abstract: A transfer data block is selected, and a data file including the transfer data block is selected as a transfer data file. All the data blocks of the transfer data file are added to the transfer data block. When all the data files including each transfer data block is selected as a transfer data file, the transfer data block is selected as a deletion data block. When a total data amount of the deletion data block is larger than or equal to a predetermined target deletion data amount and a ratio of a total data amount of the transfer data block to the total data amount of the deletion data block is smaller than or equal to a predetermined value, the data file is transferred from a transfer source node to a transfer destination node. Accordingly, a storage can be used efficiently.
