Abstract
A memory tier is established in a cluster system having a deduplicated file system. The memory tier includes memory pages configured as huge pages, where writes to the huge pages are exported in a device file that is outside of a user process namespace within which processes of the deduplicated file system run. At least a portion of metadata generated by the deduplicated file system is written to the memory tier. The portion of metadata includes an index of fingerprints corresponding to data segments stored by the deduplicated file system to a storage pool. A determination is made that an instance of the deduplicated file system has failed. A new instance of the deduplicated file system is started to recover file system services by loading the index of fingerprints from the device file.
