Abstract

The invention discloses a mirror image file compression method and apparatus, and a machine readable storage medium. The mirror image file compression method comprises the steps of detecting a disk space usage state of a virtual machine to obtain a to-be-recovered disk block number in the virtual machine; according to a disk block number and a mirror image file block number of the virtual machineand a mapping relationship between the mirror image file block number and a disk block number of a physical machine, mapping the to-be-recovered disk block number in the virtual machine to a to-be-recovered disk block number of the physical machine; and controlling the physical machine to release a to-be-recovered disk block of the physical machine. By detecting a disk space unused by a mirror image file of the virtual machine and releasing a disk space of the physical machine, corresponding to the disk space of the virtual machine, the purpose of increasing the disk space utilization rate ofthe physical machine is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of computer file processing, in particular to a shrinking method, device and machine-readable storage medium for image files. Background technique [0002] Virtualization technology adds a virtualization layer to the system, which abstracts the resources of the lower layer into another form of resource for use by the upper layer. The files inside the virtual machine are written into the disk image file, and the disk image file is saved in the file system of the host machine (ie, the physical machine). [0003] Disk image files generally adopt a write-time allocation strategy, that is, when data is written to the virtual machine disk inside the virtual machine, the disk space of the physical machine occupied by the image file will increase. However, when a file is deleted inside the virtual machine, the disk space of the physical machine corresponding to the deleted virtual machine file cannot be r...
