Abstract:
There are disclosed techniques for reporting space savings due to compression in storage systems. In one embodiment, the techniques comprise receiving a request to write data to a data storage system. The techniques also comprise performing a compression of the data associated with the request. The techniques further comprise determining a difference between a number of allocation units needed if no compression of the data associated with the request and a number of allocation units allocated to service the compressed data associated with the request. The techniques still further comprise providing a data reduction attributed to compression based on the difference.

Claim (Index 3):
The method as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the request relates to writing a file to the data storage system; and\n wherein providing a data reduction attributed to compression based on the difference, comprises:\n determining a number of file system blocks mapped to each of the file and a snapshot associated with the file and a number of compressed mapping pointers associated with each of the file and the snapshot, wherein the snapshot associated with the file is a version of the file; \n determining differences a number of mapped uncompressed file system blocks of the file and the snapshot and a corresponding number of compressed mapping pointers for the file and the snapshot, respectively; and \n based on the said differences for each of the file and the snapshot, assigning the difference for the file and the snapshot in order to enable data reduction attributed to compression to be reported for the file and the snapshot, respectively.
