Abstract

A method and system for maintaining namespace consistency between selected objects maintained by a file system and a filter associated therewith. A filter monitors selected types of requests (or operations associated therewith) and determines whether the object is within a namespace associated with the filter. The namespace associated with the filter is updated based on a change to the object.
