Paragraph Number

74

In another embodiment, where the object request receiver module 260 receives an object request that includes a command that erases a data block or other object elements, the storage controller 152 may store at least one packet such as an erase packet that includes information including a reference to the object, relationship to the object, and the size of the data block erased. Additionally, it may further indicate that the erased object elements are filled with zeros. Thus, the erase object request can be used to emulate actual memory or storage that is erased and actually has a portion of the appropriate memory/storage actually stored with zeros in the cells of the memory/storage.
