  • Volume metadata update system for antivirus attributes
    Patent number: 8312548
    Abstract: A volume metadata manager manages volume metadata including antivirus attributes. When a volume is to be relocated, the volume metadata manager updates a generation indicator in volume-level metadata for the volume but does not update a generation indicator in file-level metadata for a file in the volume. After the volume is relocated, the volume metadata manager updates the generation indicator and antivirus attributes of the file when the file is requested for access.
