Method and system for ensuring reliability of cache data and metadata subsequent to a reboot
Mehmet Iyigun,Yevgeniy M. Bak,Michael R. Fortin,David Fields,Cenk Ergan,Alexander Kirshenbaum +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the cache metadata is managed during normal operations and across power transitions, ensuring that cache metadata may be efficiently accessed and reliably saved and restored across power transition, and a state of a log used by a file system may be determined prior to and subsequent to reboot of an operating system in order to determine whether data stored on a cache device may be reliably used.
