Abstract

See full text

A method includes integrating a file system recovery log layer in a file system. The file system buffers data in a cyclical manner, and transforms all incoming random requests into a series of synchronous sequential updates. The method determines a length value of a write transaction byte-range for a received write transaction. Upon the length value exceeding a threshold value, data for the write transaction byte-range is written to permanent storage in the file system. Upon the length value being less than the threshold value, the data for the write transaction byte-range is written to a recovery log that is stored in the file system recovery log layer. The threshold value is changed dynamically while the file system is mounted.
