Abstract
Managing data stored in at least one Data Storage Device (DSD) includes generating a Linear Tape File System (LTFS) write or read command including an LTFS block address. The generated LTFS command is for writing or reading data in an LTFS data partition, writing or reading metadata in the LTFS data partition, or writing or reading metadata in an LTFS index partition. The LTFS block address is translated to a device address for the at least one DSD using state metadata representing a state of the LTFS data partition and/or a state of the LTFS index partition. The data or the metadata is written or read in the at least one DSD at the device address.
