Abstract:
In one example, a system is described in which a storage device, communicatively coupled to a processor, includes an inconsistency detection and reconstruction tool. The inconsistency detection and reconstruction tool may create a database including metadata associated with hierarchical organization directories and policy and configuration data files in a file system. Further, the inconsistency detection and reconstruction tool may perform consistency check of one or more of the hierarchical organization directories, the policy and configuration data files and the metadata to detect inconsistencies. Furthermore, the inconsistency detection and reconstruction tool may reconstruct one or more of the hierarchical organization directories, the policy and configuration data files and the metadata based on the outcome of the consistency check.
Abstract:
In one example, a system is described in which a storage device, communicatively coupled to a processor, includes a file system management module. The file system management module may create a hierarchical organization directory that is a device and an operating system independent under a root directory in a namespace of a file system. Further, the file system management module may create a user directory under the hierarchical organization directory. Furthermore, the file system management module may create policy and configuration data for the user directory. In addition, the file system management module may store the policy and configuration data created for the user directory in the hierarchical organization directory.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for generating a unique identifier for an object in a distributed file system. In accordance with an example, the generating includes determining whether a location identifier for creation of the object in the distributed file system is being reused. Based on the determining, it is ascertained whether each reuse identifier from a set of reuse identifiers available for allocation for the location identifier is assigned once. Based on the ascertaining, a reuse identifier is assigned to the object based on the ascertaining. Further, the unique identifier is generated for the object based on at least the location identifier and the reuse identifier.
