Abstract
A request to store a file in a directory of a volume associated with a distributed file system may be received. A server of a plurality of servers of the distributed file system that is associated with the file may be identified. A first version number associated with the directory and a second version number associated with the volume may be compared. The file may be stored in the directory at the identified server when the first version number matches the second version number and when the file is not currently stored at the server.
