Abstract

Systems and methods for mirroring a file system journal are described herein. A method as described herein can include receiving, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, transactional file system updates corresponding to a write operation to be performed at a first node of the system; transferring, by the system, the transactional file system updates from an initiator node of the system to a first journal at the first node and a second journal at a second node of the system that is logically distinct from the first node and the initiator node; and committing, by the system, the transactional file system updates to the first journal and the second journal.
