Abstract
System and method for managing space in storage object structures stored in a storage system uses an object B tree structure to manage a storage object in a storage object structure in the storage system, which provides virtual physical block addresses for data of the storage object and for metadata of nodes of the object B tree structure. The metadata of the nodes of the object B tree structure is written in the storage object structure using first real physical block addresses, which are translated from the virtual block addresses for the metadata of the nodes of the object B tree structure using a metadata system file B tree structure. The data of the storage object is written in the storage object structure using second real physical block addresses, which are translated from the virtual block addresses for the data of the storage object using a data system file B tree structure.
