Abstract
Described is technology that facilitates journalling a transaction log entry to chunks of storage while allowing for obtaining of modified system metadata associated therewith in the case of a computing device issue. An associated method comprises at least storing, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a set of transaction log entries at log space of a storage log associated with a file system, wherein the transaction log entries comprise instructions for fulfilling a set of transactions, and wherein the transactions define changes to the file system, generating a checkpoint marker corresponding to a set of log storage objects of the storage log at which the transaction log entries are stored, and based on the checkpoint marker, preventing, by the system, reuse of the log space until writing of all modified system metadata corresponding to the transaction log entries has been executed.
