Increasing data recoverability during central inode list loss

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving a write request which includes data, and allocating an inode entry in a central inode list, such that the inode entry corresponds to the data received. The data is allocated to a block of storage space in memory. Moreove...

Zusammenfassung:A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving a write request which includes data, and allocating an inode entry in a central inode list, such that the inode entry corresponds to the data received. The data is allocated to a block of storage space in memory. Moreover, one or more instructions to write the data to the block of storage space are sent. A determination is also made as to whether the data fills a threshold amount of a last block of storage space. In response to determining that the data does not fill the threshold amount of the last block of storage space, one or more instructions to create an identifier at an end of the data are sent. Furthermore, one or more instructions to store a copy of the inode entry after the identifier in the last block of storage space are sent.
