Abstract:
1. A computer program embodied on a tangible computer readable medium, comprising: computer code for detecting an addition of a new partition in memory to at least one existing partition in the memory in which data is stored; computer code for identifying access to a portion of the data; computer code for determining one of the at least one existing partition in the memory in which the portion of the data is stored; and computer code for repartitioning the portion of the data from the one of the at least one existing partition to the new partition while allowing access to other portions of the data, in response to the identification of the access to the portion of the data; wherein the computer program is operable such that the portion of the data is associated with a last read time indicative of a last read of the portion of the data; wherein the access to the portion of the data includes writing the portion of the data without reading the portion of the data, and the computer program is operable such that when the portion of the data is written the portion of the data is repartitioned to the new partition in the memory and removed from the one of the at least one existing partition in the memory in response to a determination that the last read time occurred before a time the new partition in the memory was added.
