METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MANAGING STATE IDENTIFIERS FOR EFFICIENT RECOVERY

A data processing system maintains logs for system and media recovery. The logs contain state identifiers each uniquely identifying the state of a corresponding section of a storage medium, such as a disk.

More Information
Summary:A data processing system maintains logs for system and media recovery. The logs contain state identifiers each uniquely identifying the state of a corresponding section of a storage medium, such as a disk. The state identifiers are assigned after changes have been made such that they can be determined from the information in the logs. One implementation involves assigning state identifiers in a known sequence, such as in a monotonically increasing sequence of integers beginning with zero.
