Abstract
A first storage server identifies a second storage server connecting to a cluster of storage servers in a file system. The first storage server locates a file in a replication directory hierarchy in the second storage server. The file has not been accessed by a client application. The first storage server determines, prior to the file being accessed by the client application, that the file on the second storage server has stale data and overwrites the stale data in the file on the second storage server with current data.
