PLUG Advanced Topics Meeting

Date:       July 16th 2007
Time:       7pm
Location:   Jax Bar
            826 SW 2nd Avenue Portland, Oregon

Speaker:    Val Henson
Topic:      Chunkfs: Repair-driven file system design

Most file systems are designed without thought for what happens when
the file system inevitably becomes corrupted and needs repair.
Chunkfs is an example of repair-driven file system design: a file
system designed from the ground up to be swiftly and efficiently
repairable.  A chunkfs file system is divided into multiple chunkfs of
about 1GB in size which can be checked and repaired with only limited,
minor reference to metadata in other chunkfs.
