Paragraph Number

83

In another embodiment, the object index reconstruction module 272 locates packets using packet header information along with container packet information to identify physical locations of the packets, object identifier, and sequence number of each packet to reconstruct entries in the object index. In one embodiment, erase blocks are time stamped or given a sequence number as packets are written and the timestamp or sequence information of an erase block is used along with information gathered from container headers and packet headers to reconstruct the object index. In another embodiment, timestamp or sequence information is written to an erase block when the erase block is recovered.
