Abstract
A method of storing a file in a storage system that includes a plurality of memory-storage hosts includes: providing unique chunk identifiers for memory chunks included in the file; using a hash mapping to identify one or more storage locations for each chunk identifier, each storage location corresponding to a portion of a memory-storage host; and storing each memory chuck at the corresponding one or more storage locations identified by the hash mapping.
