20090327598 | DISK STORAGE APPARATUS AND PROGRAM - Disclosed is a disk storage apparatus to control writing to a storage medium having a storage area to which a first address space is allocated and whose transfer rate spatially changes, including a command reception section and control section. The command reception section receives a write command from a host apparatus and containing an address of the first address space. The control section performs control to divide the storage area into zones, pre-define a second address space where blocks are successively allocated to the zones from a beginning address of the first address space, replace, for each of the write commands received by the command reception, an address of the first address space contained therein with an address of the second address space, select one of the zones as a write target zone by cyclical changing, and perform a writing process to the storage medium for each selected zone. | 12-31-2009 |
20090327624 | INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, CONTROLLING METHOD THEREOF, AND PROGRAM - An information processing apparatus controls writing to a disk. A command reception section receives from a host apparatus a write command and a control command controlling a cache about the write command. A queue storage section stores a queue for the write command and the control command received by the command reception section. A control section determines which of a first write command for data of a file and a second write command for metadata corresponding to the file the write command stored in the queue is, groups, when the control command is received by the command reception section, at least one first write command and at least one second write command that have been received and stored in the queue, assigns an execution sequence numbers to the first write command and the second write command in the group such that data write of the first write command to the disk is executed in priority to the data write of the second write command, and controls execution of the first write command and the second write command according to the assigned execution sequence numbers. | 12-31-2009 |
