APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR ADAPTIVE INTENT LOGGING

摘要

A system and method is provided for implementing adaptive intent logging in a file system of a computing device. The file system receives an I/O request from one more applications executing on the computing device. The file system includes one or more intent logging modules that adaptively and/or selectively write detail data included in an I/O request directly to storage pool device or an intent log that based on logging rules and/or the detail data associated with the request. The intent logging modules minimizes processing delays when an application issues multiple synchronous requests, such as small write request.

主权项

1. A system for adaptive intent logging in a file system comprising:
at least one processor; a file system executing on the at least one processor to receive a write request from at least one application being executed by the at least one processor, the write request comprising detail data; at least one intent logging module executed by the file system in response to the write request to:
process the detail data to determine if the write request is a first request type or a second request type;write a record comprising at least a portion of the detail data to at least one storage pool device when the write request is the first request type; andwrite the record comprising the at least the portion of the detail data to an intent log when the write request is the second request type.
