Abstract
For each of one or more existing nodes in a file system, pending notifications of updates that have been performed on the node can be identified and sent to one or more other nodes. The file system can be opened for use, and one or more other nodes can be updated in response to the pending notifications while the file system is open for use. For example, this may be done in an operation for recovering from a crash of the file system. Also, a process for dealing with stale data in container nodes in a file system can include processing access requests according to a stale data scheme.
