Zusammenfassung:A distributed file system may be configured with file blocks of a first type and file blocks of a second type, from allocation units that comprise a logical volume containing the file system. File blocks of the second type may be defined from one or more file blocks of the first type. A thick file may be instantiated with a number of allocation units totaling a size greater than or equal to a specified file size of the thick file. The allocation units may be allocated to the thick file in units of file blocks of the first type or file blocks of the second type, depending on the specified file size of the thick file.
