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