Abstract

See full text

A computer having deduplicated data stores files comprised of file blocks in a volume. File blocks are copied from the volume to memory as needed by processes. An operating system searches a memory index for physical attributes associated with a deduplicated file block to determine whether a copy of the deduplicated file block is already resident in the memory. If a copy of the deduplicated file block is already resident in the memory, the operating system creates another copy of the deduplicated file block within the memory and updates the memory index, thus avoiding having to copy the deduplicated file block from the volume and improving the performance of the computer.
