I/O accelerator for striped disk arrays using parity
Disclosed herein is an enhanced volume manager (VM) for a storage system that accelerates input/output (I/O) performance for random write operations to a striped disk array using parity. More specifically, various implementations are directed to accelerating “random writes” (writes comprising less than a complete stripe of data) by consolidating several random writes together to create a “sequential write” (a full-stripe write) to eliminate one or more read operations and/or increase the volume of new/updated data stored for each write operation. Several such implementations comprise functionality in the VM (volume manager) for identifying random write I/O requests, queuing them locally in a journal, and then periodically flushing the journal to the disk array as a sequential write request.

Screen content associated with a first communication device is presented on a screen associated with a second communication device with minimal processing of the screen content by the first communication device. Screen content associated with the first communication device that is to be presented on the screen associated with a second communication device is identified. The first communication device determines whether the identified content requires complex processing for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device. If the identified content requires complex processing for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device, the first communication device sends a representation of the identified content to the second communication device, and the second communication device accesses and processes the identified content for presentation on the screen associated with the second communication device.

Data migration between multiple tiers in a storage system using policy based ILM for QOS
Technologies are described for implementing a default migration mechanism in a storage system containing multiple tiers of storage with each tier having different cost and performance parameters. Data that is accessed more frequently can be migrated toward higher performance storage tiers while data that is accessed less frequently can be migrated towards lower performance storage tiers. Default migration behavior can be overridden by user-specified values for tier age residency policy, demotion policy, tier occupancy of volumes, and tier assignment. Data migration can be paused by the user and resumed by the user.

Multiple reconfigurable hover sensing arrays are utilized to detect the location of an object with respect to a “hover” sensing panel. Multiple enable switches control the size and the shape of the multiple reconfigurable hover sensing arrays. A portion of one of the multiple reconfigurable hover sensing arrays may overlap with another reconfigurable sensing array to improve detection resolution. A scanning and sampling mechanism might also be utilized to assist with controlling the enable switches.
A gateway for distributing content receives a subscriber profile from a subscriber device. The subscriber profile indicates content in which a user associated with the subscriber device is interested. Content is received by the gateway in an electronic mail message addressed to the gateway. The received content is parsed to determine whether the received content contains the content in which the subscriber profile indicates an interest. If the received content is determined to contain the content in which the subscriber profile indicates an interest, the received content is provided to the subscriber device.

Systems and methods for maintaining data consistency across mirrored storage nodes. Data consistency may be maintained in networked storage environments using a timestamp of an I/O in the primary and secondary servers (also referred to as nodes) in synchronous replication to re-synchronize the data efficiently, without much performance drop and while reducing the memory footprint. According to an aspect presented herein, data consistency is maintained in a mirror node by timestamping the I/O for a volume's logical territory in both the primary and secondary nodes. The timestamp acts as a watermark. Thus, whenever a disaster or failure occurs, the watermark point determines the re-synchronization point.

Systems and methods for improved fault tolerance in RAID configurations
A RAID bad block module is added to a RAID controller. The bad block module intercepts bad block errors and marks them in a bad block table. When a bad block error is intercepted the bad block module logs the error and determines, based on the error and previously received errors logged in the table, whether the RAID controller can handle the error without failing the entire array. If so, the bad block module passes the error to the RAID controller. Else, the bad block module passes the error to an application or operating system where it is handled like any other disk error. Thus, instead of failing the entire array, the bad block errors are dealt with by the operating system.

Technologies are provided for reclaiming a file system coupled to a block device. In these technologies, a dummy file is created. The dummy file is expanded to fill a volume in the block device. A mapping of the dummy file to locations in the volume is retrieved. When the mapping of the dummy file to the locations in the volume is retrieved, corresponding space in the volume is reclaimed. This space may include the locations in the volume corresponding to the mapping of the dummy file. When this space in the volume is reclaimed, the dummy file is deleted.
