Abstract
Automatically aligning virtual blocks of partitions to blocks of underlying physical storage is disclosed. In some embodiments, a starting offset of a partition included in a logical container is detected. In some embodiments, a misalignment correction amount for a partition included in a logical container is detected. In some embodiments, a misalignment associated with a partition included in a logical container is corrected.
Claims22
A system, comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- extracting data written to a logical container;
- and
- determining a starting offset for a partition associated with the logical container based at least in part on the extracted data;
- and
- a memory coupled to the processor and configured to store the starting offset.
A method, comprising:
- extracting data written to a logical container;
- and
- determining a starting offset for a partition associated with the logical container based at least in part on the extracted data.
A computer program product, the computer program product being embodied in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and comprising computer instructions for:
- extracting data written to a logical container;
- and
- determining a starting offset for a partition associated with the logical container based at least in part on the extracted data.
