Abstract

A system and method for leveraging a native operating system (130) page cache (315) when using non-block system storage devices (120) is disclosed. A computer (105) may include a processor (110), memory (115), and a non-block system storage device (120). A file system (135) may be stored in memory (115) and running on the processor (110), which may include a page cache (315). A key-value file system (KVFS) (145) may reside between the file system (135) and the storage device (120) and may map received file system commands (310) to key-value system commands (330) that may be executed by the storage device (120). Results of the key-value system commands (330) may be returned to the file system (135), permitting the operating system (130) to cache data in the page cache (315).
