Abstract
A method is disclosed for reducing client-server messages. A first request to open a file is received. The first request includes first information that indicates a first access mode for opening the file. The first information is modified to indicate a most extended access mode for opening the file. The first request with the modified first information is sent to a file server that manages access to the file. A first response is received. The first response comprises second information which indicates a specific access mode for opening the file that is granted by the file server. The second information is stored in a cache. In response to a second request to close the file, the closing of the file is delayed.
