    Abstract: A file system structure logically stored on a set of logical data volumes of a block storage system is discovered. A request to retrieve a first data block that is logically stored on the set of logical data volumes is received, and responsive to receiving the request, a data file within the file system structure is identified, in which a first portion of the data file is logically stored in the first data block. A second data block logically stored on the set of logical data volumes and physically stored on a set of data storage devices is located, in which a second portion of the data file is logically stored in the second data block. The second data block is read from the set of data storage devices, and stored in a cache memory of the block storage system.
