Abstract:
Techniques are provided for persistent memory file system reconciliation. As part of the persistent memory file system reconciliation, high level file system metadata associated with a persistent memory file system of persistent memory is reconciled. Client access to the persistent memory file system is inaccessible until reconciliation of the high level file system metadata has completed. A first scanner is executed to traverse pages of the persistent memory in order to fix local inconsistencies associated with the pages. A local inconsistency of a first set of metadata or data of a page is fixed using a second set of metadata or data of the page. The first scanner is executed asynchronously in parallel with processing client I/O directed to the persistent memory file system.
