Abstract
A method and a system for reconstructing a slot table for Network File System (NFS) based distributed file systems are provided herein. The method includes: receiving a retried request from a client at a node of the distributed file system; in a case that the retried request is of a re-enter idempotent type, processing the request again; in a case that the retried request is file state related, checking in already opened file handles if they are open with exactly same properties already exist for the particular client, and if found, returning the file handle information to the client as if it was just opened by it; and in a case that the retried request is of a non-idempotent type attempting to perform the operation again, wherein if the source file does not exist, checking the existence of the expected outcome, and replying with a success.
