摘要
Embodiments presented herein disclose techniques for capturing a snapshot of a file system object (e.g., a file or a directory) that is associated with a write journal having outstanding data. A bridge process in a storage server receives a request to capture a snapshot of a file system object. The snapshot is a backup of a state of the file system object in a given point in time. Upon determining that the file system object has one or more outstanding updates recorded in a write journal, the bridge process generates a copy of the write journal. The bridge process captures the snapshot of the file system object. The bridge process also associates the copy of the write journal with the snapshot of the file system object.
