摘要: One embodiment of the present invention provides a system that supports resizing file partitions. The includes one or more storage devices are divided into plurality partitions, wherein each partition different system. operates by receiving request to allocate within partition. In response request, adds size current produce predicted for Next, compares with limit If exceeds limit, signals an error condition. does not exceed allocates requested in nonvolatile random access memory. also makes equal size. variation on above embodiment, receives deallocate from deallocates storage, and decreases reflect deallocated storage.
