  • Mapping variable size data blocks into a fixed block structure
    Patent number: 6496901
    Abstract: A virtual tape system and method for mapping variable sized data blocks from a host to a fixed sized data block structure of a direct access storage device (DASD) utilizes a buffer between the cache and the host.
