Abstract
The disclosed embodiments disclose techniques that facilitate the process of performing anti-virus checks for a distributed filesystem. Two or more cloud controllers collectively manage distributed filesystem data that is stored in one or more cloud storage systems; the cloud controllers ensure data consistency for the stored data, and each cloud controller caches portions of the distributed filesystem. During operation, a cloud controller receives a write request from a client system that seeks to store a target file in the distributed system. A scan is then performed for this target file. For instance, the scan may be an anti-virus scan that ensures that viruses are not spread to the distributed filesystem or the clients of the distributed filesystem.
