The present invention utilizes pageable pool memory to provide, via a data
verifier component, data verification information for storage mediums. By
allowing the utilization of pageable pool memory, overflow from the
pageable pool memory is paged and stored in a virtual memory space on a
storage medium. Recently accessed verification information is stored in
non-pageable memory, permitting low latency access. One instance of the
present invention synchronously verifies data when verification
information is accessible in physical system memory while deferring
processing of data verification when verification information is stored
in paged memory. Another instance of the present invention allows access
to paged verification information in order to permit synchronous
verification of data.
