Abstract

See full text

A storage system, such as a file server, receives a request to perform a write operation that affects a data block. In response, the storage system writes to a storage device the data block together with context information which uniquely identifies the write operation with respect to the data block. When the data block is subsequently read from the storage device together with the context information, the context information that was read with the data block is used to determine whether a previous write of the data block was lost.
