Restart of an Operating System Having a Permanent File Structure
J. L. Smith, T. S. Holden · The Computer Journal · 1972
The problem of restarting an operating system after failure and recovering all files existing in the system at the time of failure is discussed. Different recovery procedures are described which depend among other things on the file address mapping scheme employed. Several models of general purpose systems are analysed to yield comparisons in I/O and recovery overhead.
