Abstract

A method, non-transitory computer readable medium and storage server computing device that determines when a generated storage operation corresponds with one of a set of predefined storage operations. The storage operation is executed and a result of the execution of the storage operation is withheld from a file system, when the determining indicates that the storage operation corresponds with one of the set of predefined storage operations. A determination is made when a consistency point operation has completed. The result of the execution of the storage operation is presented to the file system, when the determining indicates that a consistency point operation has completed. This technology reduces the number of storage operations that are required to be journaled to maintain consistency of a file system, thereby reducing the runtime resources required to facilitate the journaling and replay resource required to replay the storage operations in a journal following a recovery.
