Abstract
An I/O request to store a file in a file-system is received. A determination is made whether the size of the file does not exceed a threshold size. Exceeding the threshold results in storing at least a portion of the file in a block of the file-system devoid of sub-blocks. A determination is made whether the size of the file does not exceed a size of unallocated space within a single block in the file-system. The single block includes a set of sub-blocks. Responsive to the size of the file not exceeding the threshold size and the size of unallocated space within the single block, the file is stored, at an address, in a first subset of the set of the sub-blocks of the single block. The address identifies the single block and a position of a sub-block in the subset.
