Abstract
A distributed object-based storage system and method includes a plurality of object storage devices for storing object components, a metadata server coupled to each of the object storage devices, and one or more clients that access distributed, object-based files on the object storage devices. A file object having multiple components on different object storage devices is accessed by issuing a file access request from a client to an object storage device for a file object. In response to the file access request, a map is located that includes a list of object storage devices where components of the requested file object reside. The map is stored as at least one component object attribute on an object storage device. The map is sent to the client which retrieves the components of the requested file object by issuing access requests to each of the object storage devices on the list.
