    Abstract: A plurality of computing devices are communicatively coupled to each other via a network, and each of the plurality of computing devices is operably coupled to one or more of a plurality of storage devices. Each computing device is operable to compress one or more blocks of data and append a journal in front of the data. The journal and the data are written concurrently to flash memory. Each computing device is also operable to maintain a metadata registry that records changes in the flash memory. In the event of a power failure, the journal and previous journals may be used to verify the state of the metadata registry.

    Abstract: A plurality of computing devices are interconnected via a local area network and comprise circuitry configured to implement a virtual file system comprising one or more instances of a virtual file system front end and one or more instances of a virtual file system back end. Each instance of the virtual file system front end may be configured to receive a file system call from a file system driver residing on the plurality of computing devices, and determine which of the one or more instances of the virtual file system back end is responsible for servicing the file system call. Each instance of the virtual file system back end may be configured to receive a file system call from the one or more instances of the virtual file system front end, and update file system metadata for data affected by the servicing of the file system call.
