ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for referencing physical location of data objects stored within a logical container. The method may include receiving an access request from a client for a particular data object stored in a logical container having a plurality of data objects stored collectively in the logical container, and referencing a physical location of the particular data object within the logical container in response to the access request. The logical container includes at least one block, and each block of the logical container includes multiple extents to store data from at least one data object. The block is a fundamental unit of storage space.
