Claim 16:
17. The computer-implemented method of claim 14, wherein a third transaction record is included in a second transaction, wherein an initiator is one of the first node and the second node and wherein a non-initiator is a remaining one of the first node and the second node which is not the initiator, and wherein said first processing includes:
determining whether the third transaction record of the first non-volatile MD log is part of a torn pair where a counterpart transaction record of the second non-volatile MD log was not persisted due to a failure of the non-initiator, wherein the non-initiator persists the third transaction record and failed prior to persisting the counterpart transaction record to the second non-volatile MD log; and
responsive to determining the third transaction record is part of a torn pair, discarding and invaliding the third transaction record and not restoring MD updates of the third transaction record to the first volatile MD log of the first node.
