Abstract

See full text

A technique keeps track of files that have been modified on a filer server by identifying full pathnames of files that have been modified and maintaining a listing of those pathnames for processing by the file server. The technique is illustratively-implemented by a plurality of processes executing in a file access protocol code layer of a file server embodied as a multi-protocol filer. The processes are configured to identify modified files, load the identified pathnames of the modified files onto a temporary storage element or data structure and maintain those pathnames on the data structure for a predetermined time. Thereafter, the files associated with those pathnames may be processed by a function of the filer.
