Abstract
A storage proxy monitors storage access operations. Different address alignments are identified between the storage access operations and data blocks in a storage media. A dominant one of the address alignments is identified. Data blocks are mapped into the storage media to remove the dominant address alignment. An array of counters can be used to track the address alignments for different storage access sizes and the address alignment associated with the highest number of storage access operations is used as the dominant address alignment.
