摘要:
A storage server maintains an active file system and at least one read-only, persistent point-in-time image (RPPI) of the active file system. The booting time of the storage server is reduced by delaying the mounting of the RPPI(s) until the storage server receives a request to access a corresponding RPPI after the storage server has already booted.

A system is provided to improve storage server performance. The system comprises a receiving component of a storage server to receive a partner server's file system metadata while the partner server operates in a normal mode. The partner server's file system metadata is stored in the storage servers metadata cache and is used to mount the partner server's file system when the first server transitions into a takeover mode of operation.
