  • Reliable delivery of event notifications from a distributed file system
    Patent number: 11593309
    Abstract: Embodiments include a method for fault tolerance in the delivery of event information within a file system cluster. One or more processors to determine event information associated with file system activity performed by a node of the cluster. The one or more processors add the event information to an event log buffer in memory. The one or more processors receive a first log sequence number (LSN) associated with flushing of recovery information from a recovery log buffer. The one or more processors determine the event information in the event log buffer having a log sequence number less than or equal to the first log sequence number, and determining the event information includes log sequence numbers less than or equal to the first log sequence number, the one or more processors flush the corresponding event information from the event log buffer to disk storage.
