Abstract
A method of rebooting a file system using a non-volatile memory is provided. The method comprising persistently storing critical information in the non-volatile memory, the critical information indicating a status of the file system; in response to a predetermined event, obtaining critical information of the file system stored in the non-volatile memory; determining if the file system has crashed based on the critical information; and rebooting from metadata in the non-volatile memory if it is determined that the file system has crashed.
