Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for automatically deriving hints from storage device accesses and from file system metadata and for utilizing the hints to optimize utilization of the memory storage device are provided. One method includes analyzing an input/output operation involving non-volatile memory or file system metadata. The method further includes automatically deriving, based on results from the analyzing, a hint regarding an expected access pattern to the non-volatile memory. The method further includes using the hint to optimize utilization of the non-volatile memory.
