Abstract
A method is presented for operating a filesystem. The method includes (a) storing data of the filesystem in a data storage filesystem (DSFS) in block-addressable non-volatile storage and (b) storing metadata of the filesystem in a metadata filesystem (MDFS) separate from the DSFS, at least a portion of the metadata being stored in word-addressable memory (WAM) having a persistence feature. Several embodiments are described for achieving this, using, for example, only non-volatile WAM, while other embodiments are described using, for example, a combination of volatile WAM and persistence techniques, while yet other embodiments are described using, for example, a combination of persistence-enhanced WAM and data storage.
