Abstract
Layer metadata within a layering system can be self-healed. When a layer is mounted, a scanning module can scan the file system structure of the layer to identify what content is stored on the layer as well as attributes of this content. Based on this scan, the scanning module can determine if the layer metadata is consistent with the actual contents of the layer and report any discrepancies to a healing module. The healing module can then repair the layer metadata so that it accurately reflects the contents of the layer.
