Abstract
In a file system recovery (FSRC) process, an FSRC module performs dynamic checks on file system objects to verify parent-child relationships among various objects in the system. The FSRC module stores a list of objects in the system and relevant object-related information for each object in a memory. A dynamic check on each listed object is then performed using the object-related information to verify parent-child relationships for that object. After the dynamic check is over, the object is removed from the list and its object-related information is deleted from the memory.
