Abstract
A file system is implemented in a system comprising an anonymous-write storage device. A request for a file system operation that comprises semantics of the file system to receiving the request is received. The file system translates the file system operation to one or more commands that effect the file system operation while maintaining consistency with operation of the anonymous-write storage device. The one or more commands comprise one or more of updating file system metadata, sending a request to the anonymous-write storage device, or receiving a response from the anonymous-write storage device. The anonymous-write storage device is configured to write data in an append-only format and determine locations of data write operations agnostic of input of a write location from the file system. Metadata is updated to indicate results of the file system operation.
