Abstract
A computer-implemented method according to one embodiment includes receiving, on a first gateway node of a first cluster site, an input/output (I/O) request for a first fileset, and determining a collection of mount operations in which to add the I/O request for the first fileset. The determining includes hashing information of the first fileset against more than one collection of mount operations. The method further includes adding the I/O request for the first fileset to a first determined collection of mount operations, and outputting the first determined collection of mount operations to a first network file system (NFS) server. The first NFS server is one of a plurality of NFS servers of a second cluster site. Moreover, the first NFS server and at least one other NFS server of the plurality of NFS servers are configured to receive a collection of mount operations from the first gateway node.
