Patent abstract
A file system-aware SSD management system including an SSD management module that incorporates both file system information and information related to the underlying physical solid-state storage media into its operations is described. Also described are related methods for performing data management operations in a file system-aware manner. By incorporating both file system and physical storage information, the system may achieve various advantages over conventional systems, such as enhanced I/O performance, simplified SSD firmware, and extended SSD lifespan. Moreover, by moving solid-state management functions above the firmware level, the system may enable the simultaneous management of a pool of multiple SSDs.
