Abstract
A method for transitioning from asynchronous replication to a synchronous replication, the method includes (i) receiving, by a DSS and following the start of the transitioning, a synchronous update related to a first FSE part; (ii) implementing the synchronous update of the first FSE part; (iii) receiving, by the DSS and following the start of the transitioning, an asynchronous update related to a last version of a second FSE part before the start of the transitioning; (iv) ignoring the asynchronous update when the DSS currently stores a version of the second FSE part that is associated with a timestamp that is indicative of a point in time that exceeds the start of the transitioning; and (v) else—implementing the asynchronous update.
