Abstract
Method and system for maintaining namespace consistency between selected objects maintained by a file system and a filter associated therewith. Metadata regarding selected objects of a file system is maintained by a filter while the filter is attached to the file system and persisted in non-volatile storage. The namespace of the file system may be changed while the filter is unattached from the file system. Afterwards, when the filter is attached to the file system, the namespace of the filter is synchronized with the namespace of the file system for the selected objects.
