Appl. No.:

10/131912

Inventors:

Nisha D. Talagala - Fremont CA, US
Brian Wong - Gordonsville VA, US

Assignee:

Sun Microsystems, Inc. - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

G06F012/00

US Classification:

711170, 711171, 711172, 711173, 711202, 711206, 711209, 714 8, 714 52

Abstract:

A method for embedding integrity metadata. In one exemplary embodiment, a plurality of integrity metadata segments is determined. Each integrity metadata segment is associated with a segment of user data. The user data is mapped to a plurality of physical sectors, each physical sector containing a segment of user data and the associated integrity metadata segment. For one exemplary embodiment, a common I/O data block size is determined, and its data is mapped into a number of 512-byte sectors. The number of 512-byte sectors corresponds to the number required for the common I/O data block size plus one or more additional 512-byte sectors. This creates additional space in each sector to accommodate the integrity metadata. Integrity metadata for each data segment of the common I/O size is determined. The integrity metadata for each sector is mapped to the additional space of each sector.

International Classification:

G06F 11/00

US Classification:

714 42

Abstract:

A method for detecting a phantom write error in a data storage system is described. In one embodiment, upon receiving a read command pertaining to a data block stored on a storage medium, two version identifiers associated with the data block are compared. A first version identifier is stored within the data block and a second version identifier is stored outside of the data block. If the version identifiers do not match, the possible occurrence of a phantom write error is detected.

International Classification:

G06F 12/00

US Classification:

711114, 714 6

Abstract:

A data layout mechanism is described for allocating metadata within a storage system employing data striping. The data layout mechanism includes a number of storage devices, each of the storage devices having storage spaces allocated to store individual data stripe units associated with a number of stripes. The data layout mechanism further includes a plurality of metadata chunks allocated within the storage devices such that (1) metadata associated with at least two data stripe units of the same stripe is stored within a single metadata chunk, and (2) the metadata chunks are evenly distributed across the storage devices.

US Classification:

714718, 714799, 714822, 369 5335

Abstract:

A method for detecting errors in streaming media devices is described. In one embodiment, when a command to write a block of data to a streaming media device is received, integrity metadata associated with the data block is attached to the data block and written to the streaming media device together with the data block. Subsequently, when a read command pertaining to this data block is received, new integrity metadata is determined and compared to the attached metadata. If the new integrity metadata does not match the attached metadata, an error message is generated.
