Abstract
A technique for operating a file system in a NAS (network attached storage) cluster deploys a file system on a thin LUN in block storage and unilaterally provisions storage space to the file system without extending provisioning activities to the LUN. Rather, the file system proceeds as if the storage space is available from the LUN without reserving space or confirming availability.
