Abstract
A method is used in analyzing mapping objects of file systems. Each mapping object of a set of mapping objects of files of a file system is analyzed by iterating over the set of mapping objects. A file is associated with a first mapping object of the set of mapping objects and a snapshot copy of the file is associated with a second mapping object of the set of mapping objects. The second mapping object shares a subset of a set of storage objects associated with the first mapping object. Information for each storage object of the set of storage objects associated with each mapping object of the set of mapping objects is stored. Based on the stored information, each storage object of the set of storage objects associated with each mapping object of the set of mapping objects is processed.
