Aspects related to a resource-constrained system are described herein that can provide object storage services after a service interruption is resolved, even if all of the transactions that were pending and incomplete prior to the service interruption have not yet been recovered and/or executed. For example, file systems implemented by computing systems of the resource-constrained system may treat each file or directory as a separate object. Thus, a transaction directed to one file may not affect the file's directory or other files in the directory. As a result, the resource-constrained system can achieve read-after-write consistency without first recovering and executing the pending, incomplete transactions. Instead, read-after-write consistency for an object can be achieved simply by completing any pending, incomplete transaction directed to that object. Accordingly, the resource-constrained system can provide object storage services to user devices immediately after the service interruption is resolved, thereby resulting in fast crash recovery times.

A file synchronization service generates a listing of files stored on a local data volume by executing a plurality of threads corresponding to directories of the data volume. Files to synchronize with a remote data storage service are identified based on comparison of the listed files with cached data indicative of files stored by the remote data storage service. A plurality of file synchronization requests are sent to the remote data storage service, where the plurality of files are sent in an order that is determined at least partly based on a scaling characteristic of the remote data storage service.

A storage box for use on pickup trucks which is mainly composed of a lid 10 and flap 12 which when each are hinged and secured to the truck bed create a versatile unit capable of protected and secure storage or other positions of usage that permit easy utilization of the space or compact storage when not installed.
