Abstract

A cyclic commit protocol is used to store relationships between transactions and is used by the technology to determine whether a transaction is committed or not. The protocol allows creation of a cycle of transactions which can be used to recover the state of a storage device after a host failure by identifying the last committed version of intention records as committed or uncommitted based on the data stored in the physical pages.
