  • Data integrity checking in a distributed filesystem using object versioning
    Patent number: 11386067
    Abstract: A processing device identifies an object that is assigned an object version indicating a modification operation has been performed on the object, and a signature version representing a version of data of the object for which a first signature has been created. The first signature is stored in a data store. The processing device determines whether the object is currently under modification by comparing a value of the object version to a value of the signature version, creates a second signature for the object using the data of the object, responsive to a determination that the object is not under modification, and performs a data integrity analysis on the data of the object by determining whether the first signature matches the second signature.

  • Using a file path to determine file locality for applications
    Patent number: 10169348
    Abstract: A processing device identifies a path name of a file that is stored in a file system and sends an extended attribute request comprising the path name to a server computer system to identify a physical location of the file in the file system. The file system includes a virtual extended attributes that identify the physical location of the file that corresponds to the path name in the request. The processing device receives a response from the server computer system indicating the physical location of the file in the file system.
