Abstract
A slice consistency check method is presented including, for each slice of a plurality of slices (a) obtaining a first vote for ownership of that slice according to a filesystem manager configured to manage a set of filesystems stored on a set of sparse metavolumes, (b) obtaining a second vote for the ownership of that slice according to a first driver, the first driver being independent of the filesystem manager, (c) obtaining a third vote for the ownership of that slice according to a second driver, the second driver being independent of the filesystem manager and the first driver, and (d) assigning ownership of that slice based on a majority vote of the first vote for the ownership of that slice, the second vote for the ownership of that slice, and the third vote for the ownership of that slice.
