Abstract
A lock is acquired on a data structure. Content in the data structure is read and verified while the lock is held. The lock is then released, and then the file system components that are referred to by the data structure are verified. In essence, a file system consistency check of the file system components is performed offline in the background while the data structure remains accessible.
