File system for anonymous write

A system comprising:

• an anonymous-write storage device;
• one or more data processing units;
• and
• a computer-readable medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the one or more data processing units to instantiate a file system, the file system configured to:
• receive a request for a file system operation that comprises semantics of the file system and is agnostic of semantics of the anonymous-write storage device;
• responsive to receiving the request, translating the file system operation to one or more commands that effect the file system operation while maintaining consistency with operation of the anonymous-write storage device, wherein:
• the one or more commands comprise one or more of updating file system metadata, sending a request to the anonymous-write storage device, or receiving a response from the anonymous-write storage device,
• the anonymous-write storage device is configured to write data in an append-only format and determine locations of data write operations agnostic of input of a write location from the file system;
• causing execution of the one or more commands;
• and
• updating metadata to indicate results of the file system operation.

A computer-readable medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processing units of a computing device to execute a method comprising:

• instantiate a file system, the file system configured to:
• receive a request for a file system operation that comprises semantics of the file system;
• responsive to receiving the request, translating the file system operation to one or more commands that effect the file system operation while maintaining consistency with operation of an anonymous-write storage device, wherein:
• the one or more commands comprise one or more of updating file system metadata, sending a request to the anonymous-write storage device, or receiving a response from the anonymous-write storage device, wherein:
• the anonymous-write storage device is configured to write data in an append-only format and determine locations of data write operations agnostic of input of a write location from the file system;
• causing execution of the one or more commands;
• and
• updating metadata to indicate results of the file system operation.
