The present disclosure is related to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for cloneless snapshot reversion. A request can be received to revert to a past snapshot of a virtual computing instance in a snapshot chain of a snapshot tree provided by a software defined data center. A live snapshot can be created at an end of the snapshot chain comprising the past snapshot. An intervening snapshot in the snapshot chain can be indicated as abandoned in a snapshot map associated with the snapshot tree based on the reversion.

Cloneless snapshot reversion

The present disclosure is related to methods, systems, and machine-readable media for log-structured file system management operations. An aggregate amount of over-provisioned computing resources assigned to a plurality of log-structured file system (LFS) objects that are allocated for performance of memory management operations associated with a virtual storage area network (vSAN) can be determined. A subset of LFS objects that are candidates for performance of a particular memory management operation based on an amount of over-provisioned computing resources consumed by one or more LFS objects among the plurality of LFS objects exceeding a resource consumption threshold associated with the determined amount of over-provisioned computing resources assigned to the plurality of LFS objects can be selected. The particular memory management operation using one or more of the candidate LFS objects can be performed.
