Abstract
A unique file-system node identification (ID) is created for each newly created node in a file system repository by combining a grid identification (ID), a repository identification (ID), and a node identification (ID) to form the unique file-system node ID. The unique file-system node ID is associated with a unique association identification (ID) for creating an association for linking the node from a source repository to a target repository when performing a replication operation between a repository and another repository. The different replication instances of the node in the file system repository are distinguished by the unique association ID assigned to each of the replication instances.
