Claim 14:
15. A computing node, the computing node comprising:
a storage device, the storage device included in a storage pool including storage devices distributed across a plurality of computing nodes, the storage pool implementing a namespace of storage items stored at the storage devices of the storage pool;
a file system virtual machine (FSVM) hosted on the computing node, the FSVM configured to receive a storage access operation using a first protocol to access a storage item of the namespace of storage items;
a filesystem hosted on the computing node, the filesystem configured to translate the storage access operation to a block request, the block request configured to access one or more data blocks of the storage item at at least one storage location of the storage item in the storage pool, the at least one storage location of the storage item determined at the computing node based on the storage access operation and a map; and
a virtualized storage controller configured to:
manage the storage devices of the storage pool,
receive the block request using a second protocol, and process the block request to access a first portion of the storage item at a first storage location and a second portion of the storage item at a second location as specified in the block request.
