Abstract
Techniques are described for accessing data from a storage device. In one example, the storage device may include a storage medium comprising non-volatile memory, a network connection, and one or more processing entities. The one or more processors may be configured to receive a request from the network connection at the non-volatile memory storage device for accessing data associated with a file system object, the request comprising a virtual address offset, a file object identifier and a size of the data access, perform, at a flash translation layer of a storage device software stack executing on the one or more processing entities of the storage device, a translation from the virtual address offset to a physical address for the data stored on the non-volatile memory, using the virtual address offset and the file object identifier, and access the data from the physical address from the storage medium.
