Abstract
A first computing device is part of a distributed electronic storage system (DESS) that also comprises one or more second computing devices. The first computing device comprises client process circuitry and DESS interface circuitry. The DESS interface circuitry is operable to: receive, from client process circuitry of the first computing device, a first client file system request that requires accessing a storage resource on one or more of the second computing devices; determine resources required for servicing of the first client file system request; generate a plurality of DESS file system requests for the first file system request; and transmit the plurality of DESS file system requests onto the one or more network links. How many such DESS file system requests are generated is determined based on the resources required for servicing the first client file system request.
