CONTINUOUS NAMESPACE VERIFICATION FOR SINGLE-NODE FILESYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17958751 titled 'CONTINUOUS NAMESPACE VERIFICATION FOR SINGLE-NODE FILESYSTEMS
Simplified Explanation
Embodiments for providing adaptive namespace verification with high efficiency are disclosed in this patent application. The verification process is crucial in modern filesystems, especially for backup systems, to ensure the integrity of key data structures. These embodiments accelerate the verification process by selectively applying continuous, differential, and integral verification techniques for startup and runtime repair purposes. This innovation overcomes existing problems faced by systems with capacities exceeding the petabyte range, which impose significant time requirements using traditional verification methods. These embodiments are compatible with both single-node and distributed filesystems.

Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments for providing adaptive namespace verification with high efficiency. The verification process is used in modern filesystems to check the integrity of key data structures, such for backup systems where providing thorough and efficient mechanisms for verification is critical. Embodiments accelerate the verification process by selectively applying continuous, differential, and integral verification techniques for startup and runtime repair purposes to overcome present problems for system capacities that exceed the petabyte range and impose significant time requirements using existing verification methods. Embodiments work with both single-node and distributed filesystems.
