Enabling modifications of multiple data objects within file system volume
Tuxera, Inc., Espoo, Finland, has been assigned a patent (10,496,607) developed by Altaparmakov, Anton Ivanov, Great Chesterford, Great Britain, for “systems and methods for enabling modifications of multiple data objects within a file system volume.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”A device may be configured to perform techniques that enable may be used to allocate allocation units within a file system volume to data objects in a parallel manner. A file system driver may be configured to perform allocation operations based on an allocation mapping structure being logically partitioned into one or more of windows. Each window may be able to be lock independently during allocation operations. Window metadata may be used to evaluate windows of an allocation mapping structure.”

The patent application was filed on March 30, 2017 (15/474,826).

Fail-safe operations of storage devices
Tuxera, Inc., Espoo, Finland, has been assigned a patent (10,417,196) developed by Altaparmakov, Anton Ivanov, Great Chesterford, Great Britain, and Szakacsits, Szabolcs, Helsinki, Finland , for “systems and methods for fail-safe operations of storage devices.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Techniques for enabling fail-safe operations of storage devices are described. A device may be configured to delete an inode in a failsafe manner. A device may be configured to mark directory entries as not in use and ensure this goes to disk before anything else. A device may be configured to create an inode in a failsafe manner. A device may be configured to allocate and initialize a cluster and ensure this is written to disk before anything else. In this manner, a volume may be in a predictable state upon a failure occurring.”

The patent application was filed on April 17, 2014 (14/255,243).
