....When a process fails, sufficient information about the content and sequence of messages it received before the failure is available at other processes. The use of specialized hardware such as non volatile memory and custom system bus have also been studied as ways to reduce logging overhead [9, 5, 14]. Both consistent checkpointing and message logging protocols have been developed to provide failure recovery in wireless network. Acharya and Badrinath [1] introduced a two phase method for taking global consistent checkpoints. Pradhan, et al. analytically examined the performance of ....

.... of fault injection that we use are also not uncommon in the fault tolerance community, where fault injection is commonly used in a case specific manner to verify fault tolerant systems, to generate models of fault tolerance behavior, and to study fault propagation [4] 11] 12] 14] 27] [35]. However, most of this work uses either very low level hardware fault injection that requires expensive and dangerous equipment (such 69 as heavy ion bombarders) 11] or software implemented fault injection. The former is not tractable for general use because of the cost and complexity, and the ....

....as the source code is changed instead of the program system s state, as happens in classical fault injection. Mutation has been largely used for software testing. An experimental comparison of the errors and failure modes generated by actual software faults and mutations is presented in [19] In [20] software faults such as corruption of instructions at machine code level and specific programming errors have been inserted at random in the code to improve the design of a reliable write back file cache. To the best of our knowledge, only three studies focus on the specific problem of the ....

....most extensive category of faults imitate specific programming errors in the operating system [65] These are targeted more at specific programming errors than the previous fault category. Table 1 provides a summary of the programming errors we inject. The implementation details can be found in [52]. We collect data on 100 crashes (each using a different random seed) for each of the 15 fault types above for each of the five designs in this paper this represents about eight machine months of continuous operating system crashes. Fault injection cannot mimic the exact behavior of all ....
....the system shuts down or crashes. UFS (Unix File System) is the default FreeBSD Unix file system. We measure several variants. UFS pure write back is UFS without any reliability induced writes. It demonstrates the performance of a pure write l. The data in Table 9 is different from the data in [52] for the following reasons: The configuration in [52] limited the amount of metadata stored in the file cache, used a smaller workload for cp rm, and incorrectly uses the async version of UFS, which performs most metadata writes to disk asynchronously and does not guarantee file system ....
