摘要

An improved technique involves providing file system shrink capability by shrinking the size of the volume file in which an upper deck file system is stored. Along these lines, a data storage system, upon receiving a request to shrink an upper deck file system, determines a new address in the upper deck file system, based on an amount the upper deck file system is to be shrunk, to which the end-of-file (EOF) pointer of the volume file will point. The new address will have a smaller distance from the address of the file pointer than the original address to which the EOF pointer points. The data storage system then identifies nonempty data blocks of the upper deck file system that have logical addresses having a larger distance from the address of the file pointer than the second logical address.
