Abstract: A system and method for identifying write filter exclusions for information handling systems in a computing environment. Each information handling system includes a file exclusion driver and a file exclusion service. The file exclusion driver can monitor files to be stored in a write filter overlay and identify recurring files previously stored in the write filter overlay. The file exclusion driver can determine if a cumulative file size of a recurring file exceeds an adjustable threshold, and add data describing the recurring file to an exclusion list if the cumulative file size exceeds the adjustable threshold. The file exclusion service can transmit the exclusion list to the device management server for analysis, receive a master exclusion list from the device management server based on analysis, and can store a set of excluded files in a local storage resource based on the master exclusion list.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more system, methods, and/or processes may receive first data associated with a first write operation; may determine if a first amount of data that has been written to a non-volatile solid state storage device (NVSSSD) within a first amount of time has reached or exceeded a first threshold amount; if the first amount of data that has been written to the NVSSSD within the first amount of time has not reached or exceeded the first threshold amount: may store the first data to the NVSSSD and may increment a counter by an amount of the first data; and if the first amount of data that has been written to the NVSSSD within the first amount of time has reached or exceeded the first threshold amount, may store the first data to an overlay of a volatile memory medium.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided that may be implemented to prevent unexpected and/or uncontrollable system reboots that occur due to write filter overlay and/or RAM disk depletion within system memory of an information handling system by monitoring time-based write filter memory overlay and/or RAM disk usage. This information may be used to predict when the write filter memory overlay and/or RAM disk will fill up with data, and/or to take actions to prevent write filter memory overlay and/or RAM disk usage from reaching a threshold percentage or fractional utilization value that will trigger a system reboot. Those applications and/or data files that are primarily responsible for filling the memory of a write filter overlay may also be identified and stopped or restarted to prevent automatic system reboot due to write filter memory overlay usage.
