Method of operation for a hierarchical file block variant tracker apparatus

A method of operation for a file block tracker apparatus comprising execution of instruction by a processor to perform, for any file block of any version of any file within its name space:

• delegating to a librarian name subspace authority by
• determining that substantially all read and commit activity to a plurality of files in a name subspace in a period has been localized to a single first librarian;
• assigning to the first librarian authority over a plurality of files in a name subspace;
• and
• referring at least one of a read and a commit from a second librarian to the first librarian for fulfillment;
• aggregating and semi-synchronously packaging file I/O operations for a plurality of asynchronous processors for at least one file block of any version of at least one file within its name space;
• tracking each version of a named file and the locations of each constituent block of any version of a file within its namespace;
• updating a file system view at a librarian with the location of each constituent block of any version of a file within its namespace;
• and
• causing release, sterilization, and flushing of storage and processor resources when stale.
