ABSTRACT:
Interfaces for flexible storage management. An embodiment of a system includes a data storage, the data storage including one or more of a first storage system, the first storage system including a file structure that is coextensive with a set of memory devices, or a second storage system, the second storage system including a storage structure that is coextensive with a set of memory devices, the storage structure including zero or more file structures. The system further includes an interface system for the data storage, the interface system being used for both the first storage system and the second storage system.
