Description: Storage resource management refers to how operating systems and applications handle and allocate the available storage space on devices. This management is crucial to ensure that data is stored efficiently and accessed quickly and securely. In the context of computing environments, storage resource management is primarily carried out in kernel mode, where the operating system has full access to hardware resources. In this mode, critical operations such as allocating storage blocks, managing files, and implementing file systems can be performed. User mode allows applications to interact with the storage system through interfaces and APIs, but with restrictions that protect the integrity of the system. This separation is fundamental for system stability and security, as it prevents malicious or faulty applications from compromising access to storage resources. Storage resource management involves not only space allocation but also performance optimization, data recovery, and protection against information loss. In summary, it is a complex process that ensures data is handled effectively and securely in various computing environments.
