The use of steaming functionality on a storage device may be optimized by performing a combination of stream and non-stream writes based on a size of the data being written to a given stream. For example, a method may comprise writing data associated with a plurality of files to a first set of one or more erase blocks, determining that an amount of data associated with a given one of the plurality of files in the first set of one or more erase blocks has reached a threshold, and moving the data associated with the given file from the first set of one or more erase blocks to a stream, the stream comprising a second set of one or more erase blocks on the storage device different from the first set of one or more erase blocks.
A method for optimizing the use of streams for storing data on a storage device, comprising:
A computing device comprising a processing unit, a memory, and a file system executing on the processing unit, the file system when executing on the processing unit performing operations comprising:
A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:
