Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computer device ( 2010 ) with a file system having clusters and meta data. The computer device ( 2010 ) includes a processor ( 1030 ) and a storage ( 1025 ) coupled to the processor and having physical representations of instructions so that the processor is operable to reserve ( 230 ) at least one of the clusters and to create a log record when meta data for the file system is to be updated by a write ( 240 ) of such meta data beforehand to such a reserved cluster, and then set ( 250 ) at least one state entry to substantially represent readiness to write the meta data to the file system.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An integrated circuit system comprising: A. an integrated circuit microprocessor that executes instructions accessed from storage circuitry; B. non-volatile storage circuitry coupled to the microprocessor; and C. instruction storage circuitry coupled to the microprocessor, the instruction storage circuitry containing physical representations of instructions for the microprocessor to: i. write a log record with updated meta data in a log table in the non…
