A method for managing file system replication can include: collecting event data associated with file system events, each of the file system events indicative of a modification of at least one file at a first file system location; for each of the file system events, generating at least one file system action to apply the modification of the at least one file at the first file system location to at least one corresponding file at a second file system location; storing the at least one generated file system action in an action buffer; identifying dependencies between file system actions in the action buffer; and scheduling the file system actions in the action buffer for execution based on the dependencies.
