239-253, October 1991. In LFS, if a machine crashes before committing a segment in its write buffer, the modifications in the segment 92 are lost, but the rest of the file system s data structures remain consistent. In contrast, traditional file systems like FFS must scan all of the file system s on disk data structures after a crash to fix any inconsistencies arising from partiallycomplete writes. Experience with Transactions in Quicksilver . The protocol is based upon a universal backtrack mechanism, and provides a system of stable processes.
Coherence is modelled by the notion of a transaction an atomic disseminating computation.
