A method of memory
management for a
primary memory created
from a non-volatile, longterm
storage medium,
said method enabling
direct manipulation of
contiguous and noncontiguous
discrete data
segments stored therein
by a file system, and
comprising the steps of:
creating the
primary memory from a
non-volatile, long-term
storage medium, wherein
the primary memory
comprises a plurality of
blocks in which the data
segments are to be stored
;
coupling a cache

e.Digital believes that
this claim term should
be construed together
with the rest of the
limitation within which
it is contained as set
forth below. To the
extent the term is to be
construed separately,
e.Digital proposes the
following construction:
“addressable storage to
which a computer
system’s
microprocessor has
direct access”
creating the primary
memory from a non-

“main memory of a
computer system, i.e.,
the main generalpurpose
storage to
which the
microprocessor has
direct access”
creating the primary
memory from a non-
volatile, long-term
storage medium,
wherein the primary
memory comprises a
plurality of blocks in
which the data
segments are to be
stored
= “causing a
portion or portions of a
non-volatile long term
storage medium,
comprised of a
plurality of blocks in
which the data
segments are to be
stored, to perform at
least one of a host’s
primary memory
functions”
