Abstract

A method for processing requests or commands for writing and reading to and from memory that has not been allocated and reserved for one or more volumes, and a method for establishing one or more volumes, where the one or more volumes define an area of the memory that is accumulatively greater than the actual memory capacity, thus allowing for memory to be added at a later time.
