Abstract
This disclosure presents checking file system consistency for a storage server. During a start up phase of a file system, a consistency checker, upon receiving a request from an internal client for a part of data managed by a file system of the storage server, checks file system consistency only for a part of metadata. The part of metadata is used to maintain consistency of the requested data. After the consistency check of the part of metadata is completed, the internal client is allowed to access the requested data before a remainder of the metadata is checked for consistency.
