FSCQ is the first file system with a machine-checkable proof (using the Coq proof assistant)
that its implementation meets its specification and whose specification includes crashes …

DFSCQ is the first file system that (1) provides a precise specification for fsync and
fdatasync, which allow applications to achieve high performance and crash safety, and (2) …

This paper describes the formal modeling and analysis of a design for a flash-based
filesystem in Alloy. We model the basic operations of a filesystem as well as features that are …

This paper gives an overview over the development of a formally verified file system for flash
memory. We describe our approach that is based on Abstract State Machines and …

This paper presents a case study in modelling and verifying the Linux Virtual File System
(VFS). Our work is set in the context of Hoare's verification grand challenge and, in …

Today we see an increasing demand for flash memory because it has certain advantages
like resistance against kinetic shock. However, reliable data storage also requires a …

Distributed file systems play a vital role in large-scale enterprise services. However, the
designer of a distributed file system faces a vexing choice between strong consistency and …

FSCQ is the first file system with a machine-checkable proof that its implementation meets a
specification, even in the presence of fail-stop crashes. FSCQ provably avoids bugs that …

This work presents a formal specification and an implementation of an erase block
management layer and a formal model of the flash driver interface. It is part of our effort to …
