Linklogs existed as a feature of computing systems before the internet as well. In distributed file systems a link log was a method of recording data in which a record is created and added to the proper log when updating a transaction. The format of a log record closely matches the specification of the transaction type it corresponds to. Link log records consisted of two parts in such a system: a set of type-independent fields, and a set of type-specific fields. The former set consists of pointers to the preceding and succeeding records of the log.{{cite book|title=Disconnected Operation in a Distributed File System|url=https://www.springer.com/us/book/9783540606277|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171214043931/http://www.springer.com/us/book/9783540606277|archive-date=2017-12-14|format=PDF|last1=Kistler|first1=James|series=Lecture Notes in Computer Science|date=1993-05-01|volume=1002|location=School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University|publisher=Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg|doi=10.1007/3-540-60627-0|isbn=9783540606277|s2cid=1563818|issn=0302-9743|edition=1}} [https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~coda/docdir/jjk-thesis.pdf Alt URL]
