Abstract

See full text

Examples provide input and output request block size compatibility. A storage filter converts input and output (IO) requests associated with a first data block size into modified IO requests compatible with a data storage organized in a second data block size where the first data block size is different than the first data block size. The storage filter translates read IO requests for a smaller block size into modified read requests for a data storage organized with a larger data block size. Write IO requests for smaller block size are converted into modified write IO requests for larger data block size data storage. The storage filter also converts read IO requests generated for larger block size into smaller block size read IO requests. Likewise, the storage filter also translates write IO requests corresponding to larger data block size into modified write IO requests of smaller block size.
