Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for maintaining a back pointer from a physical layer block (PLB) to a virtual layer block (VLB) in a multi-level hierarchical file system. A generation number may be maintained in the VLB, wherein the generation number may indicate when data is moved from the PLB to another PLB. An object may be reconstructed in the multi-level hierarchical file system based upon, at least in part, at least one of the back pointer and the generation number.

Abstract: A method, computer program product, and computer system for setting a preferred alignment value to a size of an address space mapped by one or more root pages. An allocation request may be received for the address space. A binary buddy allocation scheme may be executed to allocate an extent for the allocation request based upon, at least in part, the preferred alignment value.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to identify faults associated with a logical address space in a fault domain of a storage system, the faults specifying fault reason codes and metadata types for logical pages in the logical address space associated with the faults. The processing device is also configured to determine a fault summary characterizing impact of the faults in the fault domain of the storage system, the fault summary being based on aggregating fault scores assigned to the fault reason codes and the metadata types specified in the faults. The processing device is further configured to generate a recommendation on whether to initiate recovery of the fault domain of the storage system based on the fault summary, and to initiate recovery of the fault domain of the storage system based on the generated recommendation.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a processing device configured to determine that an entry of a first data structure comprises an indication that a link between a first logical page and a second logical page is broken and to determine that a first address pointed to by the first logical page and a second address pointed to by the second logical page match. The processing device is further configured to determine that the first logical page corresponds to the second logical page based at least in part on the determination that the first address and the second address match and to add an indication of a third address that corresponds to the first logical page to an entry associated with the second logical page.

Abstract: A contacting process for an online marketplace is provided. The contacting process includes scanning a scan-able code in an online marketplace environment running on a handheld device of a user. The scan-able code is associated with a predefined seller of a predefined product. The user automatically login to the online marketplace environment using pre-stored login credentials stored in the handheld device. This enables contact between the user and the predefined seller.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a processing device configured to generate log records each representing a pointer from a leaf page in a logical address space of a storage system to a virtual block address and comprising a leaf page address of the leaf page. The processing device is also configured to identifying a subset of the log records representing pointers to a given virtual block address to determine a first reference count, and to determine whether the first reference count is different than a second reference count obtained from a given virtual entry of a given virtual block structure that corresponds to the given virtual block address. The processing device is further configured, responsive to determining that the first and second reference counts are different, to modify pointers to the given virtual block address in leaf pages with associated leaf page addresses in the identified subset of the log records.

Abstract: Disclosed is an improved sunshade configuration over the prior art. A Zig-Zag clamping mechanism for connecting two endpoints of each flexible oval-shaped loop can provide an additional flexibility and strength. With an oval-shaped or being other than round-shaped support structure allows better fitment in various configurations of a window. A size-selection process wherein by premeasuring windshield glasses where each size's fitments to list of vehicles of vise-versa. This methodology also can be applied to various accessories where an accessory is compatible with most but not all vehicles so a chart that provides guidance to consumers whether an accessory will be compatible with one specific year make model.
