Claim 10:
11. A method comprising:
utilizing a first storage bin to implement a first set of I/O operations directed to a first subset of data of a file system stored through a first storage provider, wherein the first storage bin constrains the first set of I/O operations according to a first I/O size based upon the first storage provider being a cloud storage provider, and wherein the first storage bin queries a metafile using virtual block identifiers supported by the file system to identify cloud object identifiers and offsets supported by the cloud storage provider; and
utilizing a second storage bin to implement a second set of I/O operations directed to a second subset of data of the file system stored through a second storage provider, wherein the second storage bin constrains the second set of I/O operations to a second I/O size.
