Abstract
A data storage system utilizes information about the size and composition of the storage elements so as to permit expansion and contraction of the storage system on the fly. File statistics and the details of volume organization are coordinated making the management of user capacities, costs, and usage considerably easier. Segmented journals are used to permit recovery from system crashes, or unexpected power losses, to be directed to the respective lost areas.
