    Abstract: A storage system switching between mediation models within a storage system, where the switching between mediation models includes: determining, among one or more of the plurality of storage systems, a change in availability of a mediator service, wherein one or more of the plurality of storage systems are configured to request mediation from the mediator service in response to a fault; and communicating, among the plurality of storage systems and responsive to determining the change in availability of the mediator service, a fault response model to be used as an alternate to the mediator service among one or more of the plurality of storage systems.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for transitioning a replica of a file system are described. An illustrative method includes updating a replica file system on a target data repository to be a replica of a source file system as the source file system existed on the source data repository at a point in time, where the replica file system is constructed of block objects at the target data repository that store metadata for individual files and directories of the replica file system and support access to blocks of data associated with the files and directories of the target file system at the target data repository, and where the updating includes updating the block objects of the replica file system to be replicas of block objects of the source file system as the block objects of the source file system existed on the source data repository at the point in time.
