Abstract
Systems and methods for provisioning a slave copy for redundant data storage and for writing data to persistent storage in a block-based storage system using sequential operation numbers are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes maintaining a master copy and a slave copy of a data volume, the master copy including data generated by a plurality of operations having respective sequential operation numbers, receiving a write instruction for second data to be added to the master copy, and recording the second data as a note that is not readable. The method may further include sending a copy of the note from the master copy to the slave copy, committing the note to the master copy with a sequential operation number, and committing the copy of the note to the slave copy based in part on the sequential operation number. A B-tree may be created based at least in part on an offset for a write instruction associated with the second data, a length, and an operation number included in the note.
