Abstract
According to some embodiments, use of a shutdown object during system initialization is disclosed. The shutdown object may be read from a non-volatile memory device and loaded into a random access memory. A plurality of headers may then be scanned from the non-volatile memory device. The shutdown object may be referenced to determine whether each of the plurality of headers includes valid data. Each of the plurality of headers that includes valid data may be represented in the random access memory.
