摘要： When a WORM cartridge is formatted for Tape File System (LTFS) in advance, such as prior to shipment, Linear Tape File System Library Edition (LTFS LE) is expanded by software to reduce consumption of the index partition and to support elimination of the appending of unnecessary data. More specifically, instead of recording metadata in the index partition during normal unmounting, the metadata is recorded in separate local storage such as on hard disk drive (HDD), and the index partition is updated only when the cartridge is ejected from the library. In this way, the present invention is able to significantly reduce the frequency of index partition updates. Because an update occurs only when the user intentionally ejects a cartridge, overflow of the index partition before overflow of the data partition can be prevented.

摘要： An archival storage cluster of preferably symmetric nodes includes a data protection management system that periodically organizes the then-available nodes into one or more protection sets, with each set comprising a set of n nodes, where “n” refers to a configurable “data protection level” (DPL). At the time of its creation, a given protection set is closed in the sense that each then available node is a member of one, and only one, protection set. When an object is to be stored within the archive, the data protection management system stores the object in a given node of a given protection set and then constrains the distribution of copies of that object to other nodes within the given protection set. As a consequence, all DPL copies of an object are all stored within the same protection set, and only that protection set. This scheme significantly improves MTDL for the cluster as a whole, as the data can only be lost if multiple failures occur within nodes of a given protection set. This is far more unlikely than failures occurring across any random distribution of nodes within the cluster.
摘要翻译：优选对称节点的归档存储集群包括数据保护管理系统，其周期性地将当前可用节点组织到一个或多个保护集中，其中每个集合包括一组n个节点，其中“n”是指可配置的“数据保护级“（DPL）。在创建时，给定的保护集是关闭的，因为每个可用节点都是一个成员，只有一个保护集。当一个对象要存储在归档中时，数据保护管理系统将对象存储在给定保护集的给定节点中，然后将该对象的拷贝的分布约束到给定保护集内的其他节点。因此，对象的所有DPL副本都存储在同一个保护集中，只有该保护设置。该方案大大提高了集群整体的MTDL，因为只有在给定保护集的节点内发生多个故障时，数据才能丢失。这比群集内节点的任何随机分布发生的故障更不可能。

摘要： A method for providing for write once read many (WORM) times from at least some addresses of a storage drive that is otherwise manufactured for multiple writes to individual addresses. In at least one embodiment, a WORM area(s) is defined by a START_LBA and an END_LBA and the method uses a HWM_LBA to determine whether a LBA in the WORM area has been written to previously and to prevent previously written to LBA(s) in the WORM area from being rewritten. In at least one embodiment where there are multiple WORM areas, each WORM area has its own respective START_LBA, END_LBA and HWM_LBA.

摘要翻译：当WORM墨盒预先格式化为磁带文件系统（LTFS）时，例如在出货之前，线性磁带文件系统库版本（LTFS LE）由软件扩展，以减少索引分区的消耗，并支持删除附加的不必要的数据。更具体地，在正常卸载期间，不是在索引分区中记录元数据，而是将元数据记录在诸如硬盘驱动器（HDD）之类的单独的本地存储器中，并且仅当盒从库中弹出时才更新索引分区。以这种方式，本发明能够显着降低索引分区更新的频率。因为只有当用户有意地弹出盒式磁带时才会发生更新，所以可以防止索引分区在数据分区溢出之前溢出。

摘要： A Write-Once Read-Many (WORM) memory controller receives data from a processing system that is addressed to a location in a storage device, stores the data and a tag at the location, receives second data from the processing system that is addressed to the location, determines that the location includes the tag, and prevents the second data from being stored at the location based upon the presence of the tag. A WORM memory device sends a reply to a controller in response to an initialization command. The reply includes an address number that corresponds with the storage capacity of the WORM memory device. The WORM memory device sends another reply to another controller in response to another initialization command. The initialization commands are different from each other. The other initialization reply includes an address number of zero.

摘要： For automatically committing a file of a file system to a WORM committed state when the file has not been modified for a certain period of time, a file server maintains a list of file identifiers and periodically scans the list to check whether or not the certain period of time has expired for each file on the list. If so, the file is committed to the WORM state. The file server also enforces an in-place lock in response to a client request to modify or delete a file when the certain period of time is found to have expired for the file. A minimum modify time and a maximum modified time are included in each entry of the list of file identifiers in order to skip entries and to reclaim memory of entries during the periodic scan.
摘要翻译：当文件未被修改一段时间时，为了自动将文件系统的文件提交到WORM提交状态，文件服务器维护一个文件标识符列表，并定期扫描该列表，以检查一段时间的时间已经到期，列表中的每个文件。如果是这样，该文件被提交到WORM状态。文件服务器还会在客户端请求中强制执行就地锁定，以便在发现文件的某段时间已过期时修改或删除文件。在文件标识符列表的每个条目中包含最小修改时间和最大修改时间，以便在周期性扫描期间跳过条目并回收条目的内存。

摘要： A write-once-read-many (WORM) storage system that employs large-capacity and relatively inexpensive disks in connection with a file system on a file server is provided. The file system contains most or all of the required WORM functionality so as to impose a minimal footprint on client applications, client operating systems and open protocols if desired. The system is organized around WORM storage volumes that contain files that, when committed to WORM storage, cannot be deleted or modified. Any file path or directory tree structure used to identify the file within the WORM volume is locked and cannot be deleted. In one embodiment, the administrator creates a WORM volume, capable of storing designated WORM files. The client then creates an appropriate WORM file using the appropriate protocol semantics. The file is written to the volume and committed by transitioning the file attributes from a not-read-only to a read-only state. The file system recognizes the persistently stored WORM attribute of any file in a WORM volume as WORM file. Henceforth, any attempt to modify the file attributes, write to the file, or delete the file, by clients, administrators or other entities is rejected and a request denied message is returned to the attempting party.
摘要翻译：提供了一次多次写入（WORM）存储系统，该系统使用与文件服务器上的文件系统相关联的大容量且相对便宜的磁盘。文件系统包含大部分或全部所需的WORM功能，以便在客户端应用程序，客户端操作系统和开放式协议（如果需要）上施加最小的占用空间。系统围绕包含文件的WORM存储卷组织，当提交到WORM存储时，不能删除或修改。用于标识WORM卷中的文件的任何文件路径或目录树结构都被锁定，不能被删除。在一个实施例中，管理员创建能够存储指定的WORM文件的WORM卷。然后，客户端使用适当的协议语义创建一个适当的WORM文件。将文件写入卷并通过将文件属性从非只读状态转换为只读状态来提交。文件系统将WORM卷中任何文件的持久存储的WORM属性识别为WORM文件。此后，客户端，管理员或其他实体的任何修改文件属性，写入文件或删除文件的尝试都被拒绝，请求被拒绝的消息被返回给尝试方。

摘要： An archive cluster application runs across a redundant array of independent nodes. Each node runs an archive cluster application instance comprising a set of software processes: a request manager, a storage manager, a metadata manager, and a policy manager. The request manager manages requests for data, the storage manager manages data read/write functions, and the metadata manager facilitates metadata transactions and recovery. The policy manager implements policies, which are operations that determine the behavior of an “archive object” within the cluster. The archive cluster application provides object-based storage. It associates metadata and policies with the raw archived data, which together comprise an archive object. Object policies govern the object's behavior in the archive. The archive manages itself independently of client applications, acting automatically to ensure that object policies are valid.

摘要： Techniques for providing write-once-read-many (WORM) storage are described herein. According to one embodiment, in response to a command to set a time attribute of a file to a first predetermined value, it is determined whether the first predetermined value is outside of an ordinary range of values associated with the time attribute in accordance with a file system associated with the file. The file is designated as a WORM file and a WORM retention period is set for the file based on the first predetermined value, if the first predetermined value is outside of an ordinary range of values associated with the time attribute. The designation of the file as a WORM file and setting the WORM retention period are performed in response to the command.

摘要： An archive cluster application runs in a distributed manner across a redundant array of independent nodes. Each node preferably runs a complete archive cluster application instance. A given nodes provides a data repository, which stores up to a large amount (e.g., a terabyte) of data, while also acting as a portal that enables access to archive files. Each symmetric node has a set of software processes, e.g., a request manager, a storage manager, a metadata manager, and a policy manager. The request manager manages requests to the node for data (i.e., file data), the storage manager manages data read/write functions from a disk associated with the node, and the metadata manager facilitates metadata transactions and recovery across the distributed database. The policy manager implements one or more policies, which are operations that determine the behavior of an “archive object” within the cluster. The archive cluster application provides object-based storage. Preferably, the application permanently associates metadata and policies with the raw archived data, which together comprise an archive object. Object policies govern the object's behavior in the archive. As a result, the archive manages itself independently of client applications, acting automatically to ensure that all object policies are valid.
