Abstract:
1. An information processing apparatus having a first storage unit that stores a first program and a second storage unit that stores a second program, for degeneracy operation, having less functions than the first program, comprising: a hardware processor configured to execute the first program and the second program selectively; a detection unit configured to detect a state of a file system of the first storage unit before the first program is executed by said processor; a recovery unit configured to recover the file system of the first storage unit in a case where said detection unit detects an abnormality in the file system of the first storage unit; and a measurement unit configured to measure a time period elapsed from, in a case where said detection unit detects an abnormality in the file system of the first storage unit, the detection by the detection, wherein said processor executes the second program instead of the first program, whereby the information processing apparatus operates the degeneracy operation, in a case where the time period measured by said measurement unit becomes greater than a predetermined value, and wherein said recovery unit continues to recover the file system of the first storage unit, without said processor executing the second program, in a case where the time period measured by said measurement unit is less than the predetermined value.
