Networked storage redundancy scheme

A computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing processing circuitry to execute a process for improved redundancy in storage devices, the process comprising:

• receiving a first data block for writing to a storage device;
• writing the first block to a journal communicatively coupled with the storage device;
• associating a first logical address of a group of logical addresses of the journal, with a first physical address of the storage;
• associating the first physical address to an additional second logical address of the storage device, the second logical address not of the group of logical addresses of the journal;
• and
• disassociating the first physical address from the first logical address, in response to associating the first physical address with the additional second logical address.

A computing system for improving redundancy in storage devices, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing circuitry coupled to the memory, wherein the processing circuitry is configured to execute instructions stored on the memory to:
• receive a first data block for writing to a storage device;
• write the first block to a journal connected with the storage device;
• associate a first logical address of a group of logical addresses of the journal, with a first physical address of the storage;
• associate the first physical address to an additional second logical address of the storage device, the second logical address not of the group of logical addresses of the journal;
• and
• disassociate the first physical address from the first logical address, in response to associating the first physical address with the additional second logical address.
