Synchronization software in a computer operating system evaluates with respect to an exposure goal the ages of byte stream files queued for synchronization, and dynamically adjusts synchronization ("sync") capacity in response to the evaluation. The synchronization of byte stream files occurs at rates responsive to the sync capacity. Several parameters are used to adjust sync capacity: a lead time, the number of active sync tasks, and the priority of the sync tasks. These parameters are adjusted in a manner to impact system performance to the least extent possible.

Techniques described herein relate to systems and methods of data storage, and more particularly to providing layering of file system functionality on an object interface. In certain embodiments, file system functionality may be layered on cloud object interfaces to provide cloud-based storage while allowing for functionality expected from a legacy applications. For instance, POSIX interfaces and semantics may be layered on cloud-based storage, while providing access to data in a manner consistent with file-based access with data organization in name hierarchies. Various embodiments also may provide for memory mapping of data so that memory map changes are reflected in persistent storage while ensuring consistency between memory map changes and writes. For example, by transforming a ZFS file system disk-based storage into ZFS cloud-based storage, the ZFS file system gains the elastic nature of cloud storage.

A long transaction is a transaction which contains multiple atomic transactions and is longer in executing time. The serial execution for the atomic transactions not only costs longer executing time for the long transaction but also occupies more system resources and causes the reduction of the running efficiency of the system. The invention discloses a multithreading-based parallel executing method for a long transaction, which comprises the following steps: (1) formally describing the long transaction as an expanding directed graph; (2) cutting LT (Language Transaction) into a plurality of sub-transactions LT capable of being executed in a parallel form and giving a cutting algorithm; (3) deriving a plurality of sub-threads on the basis of POSIX (Portable Operating System Interface of Unix) threading library (or Windows threading API (Application Program Interface)), so as to execute the long transaction in a parallel embedding mode; and (4) running paralleled codes on a multi-core processor (or a multi-CPU (Central Processing Unit) processor). According to the multithreading-based parallel executing method for the long transaction, the executing time for the long transaction is obviously shortened, the executing efficiency for the long transaction is increased, and the method can be applied to the fields, such as SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), service combination, transaction treatment, and the like.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and a system of file access. The method comprises that: a file system driving module receives a first access request sent by an upper application; the file system driving module, according to the corresponding relation between an access interface corresponding to the upper application and an access interface of the key-value database, converts the first access request into a second access request which is suitable for access to the key-value database; the file system driving module sends the second access request to a client of the key-value database; and the client of the key-value database, according to the second access request, searches corresponding file content or directory entry content or file attributes or directory entry attributes from the key-value database which is stored in a server of the key-value database. When the technical schemes in the embodiments are compared with technical schemes of layer-by-layer access of metadata in file systems of POSIX in the prior art, access cost is relatively small and access efficiency is relatively high.

A data object management scheme for storing a large plurality of small data objects (e.g., image files) in small number of large object stack file for storage in secondary storage (e.g., hard disks). By storing many individual data objects in a single object stack file, the number of files stored in the secondary storage is reduced by several orders of magnitude, from the billions or millions to the hundreds or so. Index data for each object stack file is generated and stored in primary storage to allow efficient and prompt access to the data objects. Requests to store or retrieve the data objects are made using HTTP messages including file identifiers that identify the files storing the data objects and keys identifying the data objects. A file server stores or retrieves the data object from secondary storage of a file server without converting the requests to NSF or POSIX commands.

An embodiment of the invention provides a permission setting method and a permission setting device for a file system. When an access permission semantic type of a father node is a permission root type, all child nodes of the father node inherit ACL (access control lists) permission of the father node, so that only setting of the ACL permission of the father node is needed. Since traversing all subdirectories or files under the father node to respectively set the ACL permission of each child node under the father node is avoided, directory tree ACL permission setting efficiency is improved; in addition, since only setting of the ACL permission of the father node is needed, repeated ACL permission setting of subdirectories and files under a directory corresponding to the father node is avoided, and storage space consumption is reduced. When semantic type parameters represent that the access permission semantic type of the father node is a self type, access permission of the father node does not affect the ACL permission of all child nodes after current permission setting of the father node, and thus, ACL permission setting of nodes in accordance with POSIX (portable operating system interface of UNIX) standard semantics can be realized.
