Summary:In an exemplary embodiment of this disclosure, a computer-implemented method may include storing in a primary storage a plurality of list entries belonging to an ordered list. Free space in the primary storage may be monitored to determine whether a first predetermined condition related to the free space is met. In a secondary storage, a storage block of a predetermined size may be allocated for migration, when the first predetermined condition is met. A cursor may be provided pointing to a first list entry in the primary storage. One or more list entries may be selected at the cursor. The selected list entries may be migrated to the storage block while maintaining their order in the list.
