The invention provides a distributed file system configured to delegate file system operations to clients. The client obtains a delegation associated with an object managed by the server. The delegation enables the client to perform a file system operation on behalf of the server. The client caches the object and enables users associated with the client to access the object in accordance with the delegation.

System and method for delegating file system operations

The invention provides a system and method for managing cached objects using notification bonds. A server is configured to manage original objects. A client creates cached objects from the original objects and establishes notification bonds with the server. Each notification bond enables the client to obtain a notification from the server in response to an object related event associated with an original object. The client uses the data in the notification to update the cache object corresponding to the original object without synchronizing other cache objects.
