Embodiment 1

[0027] An embodiment of the present invention provides a network-based storage space management method, which is applied to a storage space management server, figure 1 is a flowchart of the storage space management method, such as figure 1 As shown, the method includes:

[0028] Step 101, the server receives a data storage request containing pre-stored data sent by a requesting terminal in the network;

[0029] Step 102, searching the network for adjacent terminals with free storage space according to the data storage request;

[0030] Step 103, sending the pre-stored data to the found free storage space of the adjacent terminal for storage;

[0031] Step 104, the server stores the storage path of the pre-stored data.

[0032] It can be seen from the above description that, through the server searching for adjacent terminals with free storage space, unified and effective management of free storage space is realized.

[0033] In practice, one adjacent terminal can correspon...

Embodiment 2

[0054] An embodiment of the present invention provides a network-based storage space management server (which may be referred to as a server for short), preferably, the server is used to implement the method in the first embodiment above. Figure 7 It is a network structure diagram including servers, such as Figure 7 As shown, the server 3 is respectively connected to one or more requesting terminals 1 and one or more neighboring terminals 2, and interacts with each other through the NFS / CIFS protocol.

[0055] based on Figure 7 The network structure shown, Figure 8 is a block diagram of a storage space management server according to an embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 As shown, the server includes:

[0056] A storage request receiving unit 801, configured to receive a data storage request including pre-stored data sent by a requesting terminal in the network;

[0057] A storage space search unit 802, configured to search the network for adjacent t...

Abstract

The embodiment of the invention provides a network-based storage space management method and a server. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a data storage request containing prestored data sent by a request terminal in a network; searching for an adjacent terminal with idle storage space in the network according to the data storage request; sending the prestored data to the idle storage space of the adjacent terminal for storage; and storing a storage path of the prestored data. The method and the server can enhance utilization rate of storage space resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a network-based storage space management method and server. Background technique [0002] At present, enterprises, schools, governments, etc. are equipped with a considerable number of personal computers and servers (hereinafter referred to as computers). Generally, these computers are equipped with at least one hard disk, which is used to install an operating system and store data. These computers with UNIX or Windows installed generally support NFS (Networking File-System, Network File System) or CIFS (Common Internet File System, Common Internet File System) network file protocol, and users can transfer one or more files in the computer to The folder / directory is shared in the form of network access for external hosts to access. Among them, NFS is a network file system that realizes the separation of "file access (client)" and "file storage (server)", while CIFS, similar to ...
