ABSTRACT:
A method, apparatus, and computer program product for storage pools with write atomicity. An abstraction manager enforces write atomicity and disallows options which are inconsistent with write atomicity. The abstraction manager constructs through a physical device interface a logical continuous view of a storage pool in a manner consistent with write atomicity. Applications collect information specific to write atomicity from the abstraction manager through an application interface.
