DURABLY RECORDING EVENTS FOR PERFORMING FILE SYSTEM OPERATIONS

摘要

Multiple file system events are detected on one or more nodes of a file system, each file system event corresponding to an operation that is to be performed on the file system. Each of the multiple system events are durably recorded as an entry for a journal of the file system prior to either performance or completion of the corresponding operation. A programmatic component that is external to the file system can process entries from the journal, and in response, the entries can be expired from the journal.
