Abstract: A method and system for providing storage using a daemon model. An example system comprises a parent daemon trigger configured to launch a parent storage daemon in response to a storage command from a client, a parent daemon module to perform storage access pre-processing operations to generate initialization data, a storage command detector, a child process trigger module to launch a child process in response to a subsequent storage command, and a child processing module to process subsequent storage commands using the child process.

Abstract: Method and system is provided for accessing storage. A first logical data structure is created without receiving a client request from a computing system. A first identifier for identifying the first logical data structure is assigned to the first logical data structure. Upon receiving a client request, a second logical data structure associated with a storage device is generated and the first identifier is assigned to the second logical data structure. The second logical data structure identified by the first identifier is then used by the computing system.
