ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the disclosure relate generally to file systems. Specifically, certain embodiments include systems and methods for reading objects in a file system. In some embodiments, a first processing thread traverses a portion of a file system and represents file system objects in a data structure. A portion of the data and/or metadata associated with the represented objects may be prefetched to a memory. In some embodiments, a second processing thread consumes the objects represented in the queue. For example, in a file system backup embodiment, the second processing thread may transfer data and/or metadata associated with the objects to an archive target.
