Patent number: 8954383Abstract: A method is used in analyzing mapping objects of file systems. Each mapping object of a set of mapping objects of files of a file system is analyzed by iterating over the set of mapping objects. A file is associated with a first mapping object of the set of mapping objects and a snapshot copy of the file is associated with a second mapping object of the set of mapping objects. The second mapping object shares a subset of a set of storage objects associated with the first mapping object. Information for each storage object of the set of storage objects associated with each mapping object of the set of mapping objects is stored. Based on the stored information, each storage object of the set of storage objects associated with each mapping object of the set of mapping objects is processed.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: February 10, 2015Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Srinivasa Rao Vempati, Dixitkumar Vishnubhai Patel, Jean-Pierre Bono, Ming Yang, Marshall Hansi Wu

Patent number: 8612382Abstract: A method is used in recovering files in data storage systems. A set of file system blocks of a file of a file system is identified. The set of file system blocks are associated with a portion of an inode of the file of the file system. Mapping information associated with the portion of the inode is missing references to the set of file system blocks. Metadata of each file system block of the set of file system blocks is evaluated. Based on the evaluation, the portion of the inode of the file is recovered by updating mapping information associated with the portion of the inode.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2012Date of Patent: December 17, 2013Assignee: EMC CorporationInventors: Dixitkumar Vishnubhai Patel, Srinivasa Rao Vempati, Jean Pierre Bono, James Jiaming Pan

Publication number: 20070237970Abstract: A diffusion barrier useful in semiconductor electronic devices, such as multi-level interconnect wiring structures, is provided. The diffusion barrier is characterized as having a low-dielectric constant of less than 3.5, preferably less than 3.0, as well as being capable of substantially preventing Cu and/or oxygen from diffusing into the active device areas of the electronic device. Since the diffusion barrier has a low-dielectric constant, the diffusion barrier has only a minor effect on the effective dielectric constant of the interconnect structure. The low-k diffusion battier includes atoms of Si, C, H and N. The N atoms are non-uniformly distributed within the low-k diffusion barrier. Optionally, the low-k diffusion barrier may include atoms of Ge, O, halogens such as F or any combination thereof.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2007Publication date: October 11, 2007Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Stephan Cohen, Stephen Gates, Alfred Grill, Vishnubhai Patel
