Claim:
1. A method of storing data in a storage system, comprising: writing data, from a virtual machine in a compute node, to a temporary storage in the compute node and coupled to the virtual machine and in parallel with the writing data to the temporary storage, reflecting the write onto another compute node; copying data from the temporary storage to a primary storage coupled to the virtual machine; reading data from the temporary storage; sending the data that is read from the temporary storage in the compute node to a data node; writing the data that is read from the temporary storage in the compute node to an intermediate storage coupled as direct attached storage to the data node; and writing a second copy of data from the intermediate storage to a secondary storage; and reusing space in the temporary storage, responsive to the sending the data from the temporary storage to the data node.
