  • Enhanced FSCK mechanism for improved consistency in case of erasure coded object storage architecture built using clustered file system
    Patent number: 10572470
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory comprising instructions which are executed by the at least one processor and configure the processor to implement a file system consistency check utility on an erasure coded object storage architecture. Responsive to the file system consistency check utility determining a directory entry does not exist for a given file inode, the mechanism determines whether the given file is part of an erasure code schema of an object storage architecture. Responsive to the file system consistency check utility determining the given file/fragment is part of the erasure code schema, the mechanism determines a container (parent directory) for the given erasure code fragment, wherein the given fragment is a given error code fragment of an object, based on other erasure code fragments corresponding to the object and their placement schematics in the erasure code schema.
